Snap Judgment: Ultrafast Camera Renews Promise of Blood Test for Early Cancer Detection
“The heart of the U.C.L.A. system is an ultrafast microscopic camera the researchers introduced in 2009 that captures images at about six million frames per second. This “serial time-encoded amplified microscopy” (STEAM) camera creates each image using a very short laser pulse—a flash of light only a billionth of a second long. The STEAM camera’s shutter speed is 27 picoseconds, about a million times faster than a current digital camera. (A picosecond it one trillionth of a second.)” -
Starbucks is investing in Square, the mobile payments provider, and will use it going forward to process all of its credit and debit transactions.
The two companies made the announcement late this evening, adding that Starbucks will also invest $25 million in Square’s fourth round of funding, which has not yet been announced, but had been rumored to value the company up to $4 billion.
Following the investment, the New York Times notes that the company will be valued at $3.25 billion. As part of the transaction, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz will join Square’s board.
Wow! We use Square for all of our street fair sales, but now Starbucks will be using it in some of their locations this fall!
P.S. Did you know there’s an app that will allow you to pay with Square from your smartphone?
