An EPFL spin-off company, Nanolive, has developed the 3d Cell Explorer first-ever microscope that allows users to see inside living cells without any prior sample preparation,
by using MRI-like technology and proprietary software that uses holographic algorithms. The microscope is called the 3d Cell Explorer.
It combines state-of-the-art hardware with cutting-edge imaging software to record stunning 3d images of entire living cells within seconds and with a higher resolution than any conventional microscope available in the market.
The photographic"slices"are recombined then using clever holography software that digitally"stains"the cells, labeling its different parts.
The software, called STEVE, is now available for download and can be used to"travel"virtually inside cells.
It allows the user to digitally"paint"any part of a scanned cell. This is possible because it can automatically define all the different parts of a cell based on an optical property called the"refractive index".
allowing users to explore changes in the cell in real time. Through STEVE, the stains can be modified constantly by the user,
saved and reused for other cells.""Starting from today, scientists, medics and students all around the world will be enabled to travel inside 3d cells in full color by simply downloading STEVE on their laptop"says Nanolive CEO Yann Cotte.

#Nanostructure Changes Colour When Finger Comes Near Touchscreens suffer from mechanical wear over time and are a transmission path for bacteria
What they really want is to use it in touchless displays. ecause these sensors react in a very local manner to any increase in moisture,
it is quite conceivable that this sort of material with moisture-dependent properties could also be used for touchless displays
and monitors, said Ganter. Touchless screens of this kind would require nothing more than a finger to get near the display to change their electrical or optical properties and with them the input signal at a specific point on the display.
Taking phosphatoantimonate nanosheets as their basis the Stuttgart scientists then developed a photonic nanostructure which reacts to the moisture by changing colour. f this was built into a monitor,
the users would then receive visible feedback to their finger motionexplained Katalin Szendrei, also a doctoral student in Bettina Lotsch group.
To this end, the scientists created a multilayer sandwich material with alternating layers of ultrathin phosphatoantimonate nanosheets and silicon dioxide (Sio2) or titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Tio2.

Smart devices such as smart glasses, smart watches and smartphones equipped with photodiodes communicate using VLC.
Users can continuously gesture and interact with appliances and objects in a room-for example, a wall-mounted display,

But there are no cameras (high-fidelity sensors with privacy concerns) monitoring users or any on-body devices or sensors that users have to constantly wear or carry, just LED LIGHTS on the ceiling and photodiodes on the floor.
Compared to existing methods that use wireless radio signals such as Wi-fi to track user gestures, light-based sensing does not introduce electromagnetic interferences
