New technique can make X-rays more efficient at diagnosing bone and other
A novel way to pinpoint and illuminate bone damage promises to make X-rays more efficient at diagnosing bone and other injuries, Flinders University researchers say.
The new technique, looking at potential biomedical applications of an ancient inorganic salt-based aggregation induced emission (AIE) radio-luminescence material, could open new frontiers in medicine including X-ray dosimetry, bioimaging and advanced applications such as optogenetics, says Professor Youhong Tang, from Flinders University s College of Science and Engineering.
The review article, published by Professor Tang, postdoctoral student Dr Javad Tavokoli, colleagues in Hong Kong and Australian technology company Micro-X and, examined the potential of the AIEgen luminogens (AIEgens) in deep tissue imaging. The study used X-ray testing provided by Adelaide-based Micro-X.

For the past five years, the Tulane chapter of Engineers Without Borders has been working on a water-access project for Laquigo, an Ecuadorian village where residents typically get much of their water from ditches.
The group had planned to spend part of the summer of 2020 in Laquigo, working on the final plans of a 21-kilometer pipeline that would increase the water supply to Laquigo while making sure its access to water could not be cut off by other villages.
“Overall, this semester has been extremely exciting for us, and we hope it is work that can make the School of Science and Engineering proud.”
