While we’ve seen developments that could see T-ray spectrometers featuring in a future handheld tricorder-like device, good ol’ X-rays could also get a guernsey thanks to an engineering team from the University of Missouri. The team has invented an accelerator about the size of a stick of gum that can create X-rays and other forms of radiation, opening up the possibility of cheap and portable X-ray scanners.
Ray and Terry's 's insight:
Enabling technologies such as inexpensive genomic sequencing, portable medical equipment, and smart-phone medical gadgets can democratize medical care... if the developments are handled properly. Delete the scoop?
