Wounded soldier rushed to field hospital. Most immediate dilemma: treating potentially fatal bacterial sepsis. But treat how? Unable to wait for culture identifying offending species doctors must guess... and hope they’re right. Now, imagine this scenario: Soldier arrives. Wound scanned with laser, which instantly I.D.’s invader via signature spectrum. Medics tune to wavelength that singles out and kills the microbe and blast away. Early studies suggest the free electron laser may make this medical dream come to pass.‘Entanglement’ Microscopy  Malvin
C. Teich, Ph.D.
Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Physics, Boston University, Boston, MA. By harnessing quantum-sourced light researchers have found a way to look far more deeply into living tissue than heretofore possible using far less intense levels of radiation that would have been required had classical light sources been put to the task. That cuts down on photodamage to the specimen. Called entangled-photon microscopy, this new technique will certainly cast some new, much-needed light on a broad constellation of fundamental biological processes.Photonics Center Laboratory Presentations and Demonstrations 3:00 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. ‘Taste of New England’ Gala
