Fluorescein image with the OCULUS ImageCam 3 visualizes the accuracy of a contact lens fit on the cornea.
The slit-lamp examination is one of the most important diagnostic techniques in ophthalmology. It enables a detailed examination of the anterior, middle, and posterior segments of the eye.

A single-spin qubit probes nanoscale spin fluctuations to reveal magnetic interactions in quantum materials.
Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials.

One major category of the next generation of energy-efficient microelectronic devices and information processing technologies will likely be based on “spintronics,” which leverages both an electron’s charge and its spin—the tiny “up” or “down” magnetic moment carried
Robotic Helper Making Mistakes? Just Nudge It
Large Image Caption
Graduate student Felix Yanwei Wang nudges a robotic arm that’s manipulating a bowl in a toy kitchen set up in the group’s lab. Using the framework Wang and his collaborators developed, slightly nudging a robot is one way to correct its behavior.
Imagine that a robot is helping you clean the dishes. You ask it to grab a soapy bowl out of the sink, but its gripper slightly misses the mark.
Measuring Sheet Metal Parts
Each type of part presents its own set of inspection challenges. This is especially true for sheet metal parts that are made of various entities, each with different positioning and dimensioning tolerances, and variable thickness gauges and sizes.

Ron Norris, retired director of innovation at Georgia-Pacific, will deliver the keynote speech on April 1, 2025, at the Baldrige Quest for Excellence Conference, held March 30–April 2, 2025, in Baltimore.
With the right approach, artificial intelligence isn’t “just a tool.” It can be “a real-time decision-making partner”—one that “empowers the workforce, making knowledge more accessible while ensuring that organizations have faster and smarter operations.” So says Ron
In the Age of AI, Idea Curation Will Eclipse Creation
In the current professional landscape, idea generation is revered as a hallmark of creativity and innovation. Organizations celebrate those who can generate new and groundbreaking concepts, often overlooking the subtler art of idea curation.
