Holographic Camera Sees The Unseen

#290

Researchers at Northwestern University have built a scattered light holographic camera that can see the unseen. The camera indirectly scatters coherent light onto hidden objects and detects any subsequent light scattering that arrives back into the camera. An image is then reconstructed using this returned scattered light to visualise hidden objects.

Antibiotic Supercharging Antibacterial Gold Particles

#289

Researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology and Fudan University in China and the University of Leeds in the UK teamed up to demonstrate an improved use of gold nano-particles in the fight against bacteria. The research shows that combined antibacterial methods using gold nano-particles successfully reduced the severity of the bacteria while also increasing the efficacy of antibiotics.
