Researchers Come One Step Closer to a Working Optoacoustic Endoscopic Probe

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have come one step closer to a working optoacoustic endoscopic probe -; a device that could slip inside a blood vessel and analyze atherosclerotic plaques by shining laser light on them to make them wobble like a loudspeaker membrane and betray their chemical composition with an ultrasound signature.

Researchers Design Broad-Range Luminescent Boltzmann Thermometer

Luminescent thermometers become progressively essential for remote, non-invasive temperature sensing at particularly small lateral dimensions, as contact-based detection methods only function in a partial way or even not at all. Standard application areas are temperature recording on catalytic surfaces or in biomedical procedures.
