The idea that health care costs can be contained or reduced "is an illusion," said Daniel Vasella, head of Novartis, in his talk at MIT.

Aging population is driving rise in health costs, Novartis head says

The Spectroscopy Lab developed a device that detects precancerous tissue by sequentially delivering laser light of 10 different colors to the tissue via an optical fiber probe. The probe, shown here, consists of a bundle of optical fibers with a diameter of just over 1mm, making it compatible with standard endoscopes. The returning light is collected using the same probe and analyzed with a spectr...
