Transcranial ultrasound clinical results for mental illness and dementia

  Recently, transcranial ultrasound has been getting some press. This has been a deep interest for a long time so I thought I would write up where the clinical results are at present. I haven’t covered the important work which combines transcranial ultrasound with, for example, cancer drugs. This is only about mental illness and […]

An update on MEMS technology

  Introduction Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) have long played an understated yet indispensable role in modern technology. Born from the microfabrication revolution that accompanied semiconductor advances, these tiny devices integrate mechanical elements with electronic circuitry – a synergy that has resulted in applications across industries such as automotive safety, consumer electronics, medical devices, and biometric security. […]

Biometrics on Trial: How Emerging Technologies Are Shaping Security—and the Courtroom

Introduction Biometric security, once a topic limited to science fiction or niche industrial applications, has rapidly become an essential part of modern technology. Fingerprint scans unlock our smartphones, facial-recognition systems monitor sensitive facilities, and palm-print authentication grants access to restricted areas. Yet as these systems expand in scope, courts are increasingly tasked with addressing the […]
