Qualcomm, when it's not busy filing lawsuits, has been working on its iMoD (short for Interferometric Modulator) technology, which uses an array of microscopic mirrors to stay highly visible in well-lit conditions.
At the heart of the technology is a micro-array consisting of thousands of microscopic spots of different sections of DNA deposited on a glass or silicon surface.
It was "eye floaters, " microscopic grey globs that cast shadows on the retina, that inspired California Institute of Technology professor Changhuei Yang to create a lensless microscope that aims to change the way scientists go about diagnosing diseases and developing new drugs--for a fraction of the cost.
