One imaging modality, X-ray microcomputed tomography (microCT) shows promise as a cost-effective means for detecting and characterizing soft-tissue structures, skeletal abnormalities, and tumors in live animals. MicroCT systems provide highresolution images (typically 50 microns or less), rapid data...

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis of the Se K-edge (12.654 keV) was undertaken at Diamond Light Source, Didcot, UK, to determine the selenium species and distribution in soil and plant material from seleniferous sites TL-1 and FF-2. For XAS analysis, 1 cm sub-sections of fres...
Ray tracing, which mimics the nature of light photons bouncing off of surfaces for more realistic effects and visuals, does wonders on these scenes. You almost forget you're a soldier in an apocalyptical war. Credit: the coalition / xbox game studios The Touryst’s more minimalist, boxy ...
