When imaging objects in space, distance isn’t the only challenge: Earth’s atmosphere gets in the way, too. As turbulence ripples through our planet’s protective layer, images of stars, the Moon, and even other galaxies become fuzzy and distorted. Correcting these flaws requires adaptive optics, or AO, a technique that uses …

SOPHiA GENETICS, the shoutily and poorly capitalized-named startup that’s combining machine learning tools for medical imaging and genetic sequencing to come up with a more holistic view of diseases for better patient care, has raised $110 million in new funding. The Series F round for the company was led by …

Biology is messy, and this is a problem for imaging science. Living things are squishy and porous. They tend to be bathed in fluid. They also move, and all that motion makes it practically impossible to get good high-resolution images of cells and what’s inside them. The best we’ve had to …
