Advances in ultrasound—the same imaging technology that uses sound waves to allow doctors to monitor babies in utero—are being applied by engineers at the University of California San Diego to make ...

Acoustic streaming generated by airborne ultrasonic phased arrays plays a critical role in the performance of advanced ultrasonic technologies, including midair haptic feedback, odor delivery, and ...

For people who are at high risk of developing breast cancer, frequent screenings with ultrasound can help detect tumors early. MIT researchers have now developed a miniaturized ultrasound system that ...

What if you could send sound directly to a single person in a crowded room, without anyone else hearing it? This isn’t a scene from a sci-fi movie, it’s the reality of a new concept called the “sound ...

In A Nutshell MIT researchers built a portable ultrasound device weighing just over one pound that images more than 4 inches deep into breast tissue, matching hospital machine performance with far ...

For people who are at high risk of developing breast cancer, frequent screenings with ultrasound can help detect tumors early. MIT researchers have now developed a miniaturized ultrasound system that ...

Existing defect detection tools using ultrasound rely on phased array ultrasound. In this method, many transducers are pointed in the same direction to generate an image of that specific area. This ...

Imagine the power to clone your favorite LEGO piece—not just any piece, but let’s say, one that costs €50 second-hand. [Balazs] from RacingBrick posed this exact question: can a 3D scanner recreate ...

The probe, which is a little smaller than a deck of cards, contains an ultrasound array arranged in the shape of an empty square, a configuration that allows the array to take 3D images of the tissue ...
