Study of Curious 'Quasiparticles' Helps Measure Incredibly Small Distortions in Light Waves

Optics researchers have discovered a new way to measure incredibly small distortions in light waves by indirectly studying the behavior of curious 'quasiparticles' - ripples in the electric field that emerge when light and solid surfaces interact. This new technique holds significant promise for applications in metrology and chemical sensing, as well as potential improvements in adaptive optics for microscopy and biomedicine.

Highly Sensitive, Inexpensive, Non-Invasive Biophotonics Method to Identify Unstable Plaques

In aging societies, atherosclerosis (AS) and its major vascular complications, myocardial infarction and stroke, are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Besides that, childhood obesity is an increasing phenomenon all over the globe and will lead to increased occurrence of cardiovascular diseases at younger age. Particularly in these patients all efforts need to be made towards non-invasive methods for disease diagnosis in order to reduce the risk of invasive analysis and X-ray radiation.
