— Background
PET scanners are valued for their ability to provide whole-body functional and anatomic information, important in the diagnoses and management of metabolic conditions. However, there is currently a need in the market for a smaller imaging system that can be used for point-of-care applica…

— Background
Material morphology and composition are critical for production of Li+ ion battery cathodes, and there is a need for improved synthesis methods that yield high quality materials through cost effective, green, scalable processes. Further, there is often a need to dope materials during syn…

— In clinical practice, high imaging speed is critical to reduce motion artifacts, cost, and patient discomfort. Researchers at Washington University have developed multi-focal optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (MFOR-PAM) capable of high-resolution imaging of hemoglobin concentration and oxy…

— The invention is a new process for fabricating nano-structured metal-oxide and other films. The films can harvest solar energy in the form of light and convert it to a more usable form (i.e: electricity or hydrogen gas). The films produced by this process have a unique morphology that grants them a …

— Compressed-sensing ultrafast photography (CUP) is an ultrafast imaging technique that can capture non-repetitive, time-evolving events at up to 100 billion frames per second. Compared to existing ultrafast imaging methods, CUP has a prominent advantage in measuring an x, y, t (x, y, spatial coordina…
