Sharper images reveal high-res Titanic

An expedition probing the Titanic wreck has revealed sharp new images of the world's most tragic shipwreck, the Hindu reports.

A research team has been relying on a robot pair to click thousands of photographs and hours of video of the wreck, roughly 4km below the sea surface.

The high-resolution images include views of the ship's bow, clearly depicting the railing and anchors.

A major breakthrough has been made in X-ray imaging technology, according to a reporter from the University of Science and Technology of China, which can be applied to life sciences and information science, notes Cnanhui.

Current X-ray phase contrast imaging is characterised by long exposure, strong radiation and complexities. It is said to be more convenient and effective for patients to have a CT check, while radiation will also be reduced.

Professor Wu Ziyu recently found the absorption contrast between two images that are formed by face- and back-sifting X-ray respectively are symmetrical, and refraction contrast asymmetrical. Based on this principle, the research panel put forward a new CT method, which overcomes the previous shortcomings in CT.

Screen USA will highlight its newest and most popular digital printing and prepress technology at Graph Expo 2010, says American Printer.

Screen representatives will demonstrate the numerous profit-making opportunities print service providers can cultivate in the commercial, publishing, packaging, sign and transactional printing markets.

President Mike Fox says: “We plan to give visitors plenty to see and compare in terms of market-leading digital printing, computer-to-plate and workflow products.”
