A project at Rice University has developed a new machine learning (ML) algorithm intended to improve the identification of biomarkers in optical spectra. As reported in ACS Nano, the algorithm could ...

Researchers have repurposed an algorithm originally developed for Netflix's 2009 movie preference prediction competition (see below) to create a method for acquiring classical Raman spectroscopy ...

Why standard, cuff-based blood-pressure measurements are insufficient for some desired types of assessments. How electro-optical techniques can be used for consistent, real-time data. The results ...

The oil industry put fiber-optic sensing cables downhole to better understand why hydraulic fracturing doesn’t free trapped oil at expected rates in shale reservoirs, but the massive streams of ...

From the camera in a smartphone to the microscopes in a laboratory, traditional optics are constrained by physical laws that dictate the size and thickness. However, a revolution is underway with the ...
