  • USA_SCI_CRY_08_xs .Cryonics: Dr Avi Ben-Abraham, of Trans Time Inc., a cryonics company of Oakland, California. Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. Cryonics involves freezing whole human bodies, organs or pet cats & dogs, in liquid nitrogen (tank in background) to await a future thaw. Cryonicists claim that medical science in the future may offer a cure for cancer or the restoration of youth, and that their methods of preservation might offer some people an opportunity to benefit from these advances. Conventional cryobiology methods for freezing organs (for organ transplants, for example) are plagued by problems of intracellular ice crystal formation, which destroys their component cells. Dr. Ben Abraham is reading ?the Prospect of Immortality? and is wearing a bracelet that identifies him as a cryonic patient should he be found dead. MODEL RELEASED 1987.

  • TV of tomorrow. Long-exposure photograph of a TV monitor being wheeled through a corridor in the MIT Media Lab. The monitor on the left shows researcher Andrew Lippmann. Set up in 1985 at the USA's Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Media Lab aims to invent the multimedia technologies of the future. According to Lippmann and colleagues, tomorrow's TVs will combine computer technology with digital transmission to create an interactive system that could make conventional print and broadcast media redundant. Wall-sized 3-D screens that respond to the human voice could offer millions of TV channels, personalized news and interactive dramas.  (1995)

  • Application of virtual (artificial) reality computer systems in medical diagnostic imaging, showing a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the head next to a scientist wearing a headset. Computer scientists here at the University of North Carolina aim to distill various types of diagnostic images, (X-rays, CT, MRI) into a vivid digital model, that is displayed through the head-mounted displays. Advantages of this type of presentation include not being bound by screen conventions, such as a lack of step back features, wider area views & the need to control a keyboard or mouse. Future uses may exist in the accurate targeting of radiotherapy. Stereo tactic radiotherapy technique. Model Released (1990)

  • Physics: A blowtorch is applied to a sample of aerogel to demonstrate its insulation properties. Aerogel is a new material, which has very high thermal insulation properties and extremely low mass. It is made by adding alcohol to a conventional silica gel to remove water. The gel is then placed in a pressure chamber, and the alcohol removed under super fluid conditions. This prevents the gel from collapsing. The resulting block of silica fibers contains about 90% air, so is very lightweight. Aerogel is being studied as an insulating material and as a holding medium for nuclear fusion fuel. Photographed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. [1991]

  • David Scharf, US electron microscopist and photographer. He was educated in physics in New Jersey, and then worked at a variety of electronics and aerospace companies using conventional photography. He first used a scanning electron microscope (SEM) while at an aerospace company. Shortly after this he decided to become a photographer specializing in images of the very small. Scharf has his own SEM, linked to a computer for control and coloring of his images. He has been published in journals such as Life, National Geographic and Geo. He has published a book of his SEMs entitled Magnifications. Photographed at his home in Los Angeles, 1994. Images on a light table in his basement lab.

  • Micro Technology: Micromechanics: Image showing the small size of the micro- accelerometer used to trip a car 'air-bag' safety device. The micro-accelerometer is seen as the small black dot in the middle of the hand. In a collision, the micro-accelerometer detects the sudden slowing down of the car. This triggers a circuit, which rapidly inflates a plastic bag with air. The air bag deploys between the driver and the steering wheel, preventing serious facial injury as the driver is thrown forward. The air- bag inflates fully in about 0.2 seconds. Micro- accelerometers are mechanical devices made by the same processes that are used in the manufacture of conventional silicon microcircuits.

  • Experimental cryonics: Paul Segall in his garage laboratory in Berkeley, California, with his family and Miles, a beagle. Segall replaced Miles' blood with a substitute before cooling him to 37.4 degrees & disconnecting a heart lung machine. After 15 minutes, during which Miles' pulse, breathing & circulation had ceased, the dog was warmed, its blood returned & Miles was restored to health.  Human cryonics clients are frozen & preserved in liquid nitrogen to await the advances in medical science that a future thaw might bring about. However, conventional cryobiology methods for freezing organs are plagued by problems of intracellular ice formation, which destroys cells. Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. MODEL RELEASED 1987..
