In 1997, FDA published a draft document recommending that individuals with implanted pacemakers should not enter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure rooms or come within the 5-G line around the ...

Latvian authorities are investigating a serious incident in which an undersea fiber optic cable was damaged in the Baltic Sea ...

An increasing number of seismologists are using fiber optic cables to detect seismic waves on Earth -- but how would this technology fare on the Moon, and what would it tell us about the deep layers ...

Miniaturized sensors mounted upon optical fibers are widely recognized as an important future solution to instant and point-of-care medical diagnosis and on-site agricultural produce inspection.

Microendoscopes using fiber optics are becoming increasingly important imaging tools, but they have physical limitations. They are essential for applications that require a long working distance, high ...

Microendoscopes are the cornerstone of modern medical diagnostics - they allow us to see what we could not even describe two decades ago. The technology is constantly improving, with ICTER scientists ...

Scientists have developed an ultrasonic imaging system, which can be deployed on the tip of a hair-thin optical fiber, and will be insertable into the human body to visualize cell abnormalities in 3D.

An increasing number of seismologists are using fiber optic cables to detect seismic waves on Earth—but how would this technology fare on the Moon, and what would it tell us about the deep layers of ...

A conceptual lunar fiber seismic network (Background lunar surface image from NASA). The base station provides space and power for the DAS interrogator, data processing unit and telecommunicating ...
