![early prototype of the optical array developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-08/Optical%20array%20tech%20demo_0.jpg?h=2992f284&itok=ahZ9Umui)
IDEMIA Identity & Security USA has licensed an advanced optical array developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The portable technology can be used to help identify individuals in challenging outdoor conditions.
Scientists studying a valuable, but vulnerable, species of poplar have identified the genetic mechanism responsible for the species’ inability to resist a pervasive and deadly disease. Their finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could lead to more successful hybrid poplar varieties for increased biofuels and forestry production and protect native trees against infection.
