New brain scan technology could save babies' lives

A revolutionary portable brain scanner under development could aid the treatment, and in ...ormation about brain function at the cot side, the scanner avoids the need to move critically ill babies to conventional scanning facilities, which may involve...

Researchers develop new method for studying 'mental time travel'

...ton's functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner to capture the participants' brain activity patterns as they studied the images. They then trained a computer program to distinguish between the patterns of brain activity associated with studying faces, locations or objects. The computer program wa...

Tagging pathogens with synthetic DNA 'barcodes'

...mbination of colors that can be read by a computer scanner or observed with a fluorescent light microscope. Other methods of identifying biological molecules that are available or being developed mostly involve expensive equipment, Luo said.

Fluorescing lab worms signal longer life spans

... An automated "worm sorter" equipped with a laser scanner to swiftly detect fluorescence levels in the nematodes and a pneumatic device that separates them into groups with short pulses of air was used during the study. One of only six such instruments in the United States, the machine can sort about 30 wor...

Life detection instrument passes key test on road to Mars

...ls on the instrument that travels to Mars, and the scanner used to read out the data needn't be as elaborate. This translates into a cheaper and easier way to build instruments, but more importantly, an instrument that is smaller and uses less power. With the success of this crucial field test, Skelley and ...
