MIT scientists turn chaotic laser light into powerful brain imaging tool

5 hours ago 5

Researchers at MIT have identified an unexpected effect in optical physics that could lead to a faster and more detailed way to image living tissue. Under specific conditions, what normally looks like a scattered and disordered laser signal can reorganize itself into a narrow, highly focused "pencil beam."

With this self-formed beam, the team produced 3D images of the human blood-brain barrier at speeds about 25 times faster than the current gold-standard appr...
