Lead author Xinghan Cai a University of Maryland physics graduate student said a detector like the researchers'prototype could find applications in emerging terahertz fields such as mobile communications medical imaging chemical sensing

A CT SCAN, which is essentially a high-resolution 3d X-ray, so that we can calculate and fabricate a personalized scaffold in the precise 3d shape of the bone we want to engineer;

Using light-generated radiation combined with phase-contrast X-ray tomography, the scientists visualized ultrafine details of a fly measuring just a few millimeters.

By contrast, the laser-driven system in combination with phase-contrast X-ray tomography only requires a university laboratory to view soft tissues.

For the first time, scientists coupled their technique for generating X-rays from laser pulses with phase-contrast X-ray tomography to visualize tissues in organisms.

and tomography to create the final images. The images thus obtained showed that the new method used to direct the placement of nanoparticles on DNA-encoded vertices of molecular frames can prove to be effective for designing new nanomaterials.
