- New imaging technique reconstructs the shapes of hidden objectsBy leveraging reflections from wireless signals like Wi-Fi, the system could allow robots to find and manipulate items that are blocked from view.
- New method combines imaging and sequencing to study gene function in intact tissueThe approach collects multiple types of imaging and sequencing data from the same cells, leading to new insights into mouse liver biology.
