— Compressed-sensing ultrafast photography (CUP) is an ultrafast imaging technique that can capture non-repetitive, time-evolving events at up to 100 billion frames per second. Compared to existing ultrafast imaging methods, CUP has a prominent advantage in measuring an x, y, t (x, y, spatial coordina…

— Identifying patients at risk of relapse while undergoing particular treatment protocols is critically important yet challenging to do in a timely manner. Researchers at Washington University have deveoped a new method to rapidly and accurately determine relapse risk in a human subject afflicted with…
