When a natural disaster strikes and too many people take to their mobile phones at once, cellular networks easily overload. But a graduate student has developed a solution to ensure that calls don't get dropped and texts make it to their destination.

Observing the living in real time and in a new light

Posted: 10 Oct 2013 07:49 AM PDT

Fluorescence imaging, an important technique in biology and medicine, makes it possible to observe the living while in movement. However, the labels used in this domain are often in competition with the natural fluorescence of the biological medium and can hinder observation. On the other hand, under near-infrared light it is virtually zero. The first stable, non-toxic labels that are sufficiently efficient under near-infrared light to be used in fluorescence imaging have now been developed.
