New 'smart' material could help tap medical potential of tissue-penetrating light
ScienceDaily (Nov. 16, 2011) — Scientists
are reporting development and successful
initial testing of the first practical "smart"
material that may supply the missing link
in efforts to use in medicine a form of
light that can penetrate four inches into
the human body. Their report on the new
polymer or plastic-like material, which has
potential for use in diagnosing diseases
and engineer new human tissues in the
lab, appears in ACS' journal
Macromolecules .
