That system got a boost late last year when the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which advises the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, issued a highly critical assessment of touch-screen in favor of optical scanning."

...Nelson-Whitehouse bill would appropriate as much as $1 billion to help states move back to optical scanning (or any method that provides a reliable paper trail). "Unless someone can come up with a foolproof method of producing a paper trail with touch-screen machines, this is how we need to go," says Nelson, pointing out that attempts up to now to make DRE paper-trail compatible have too often led to printer paper jams and other "screw...

...improvement over previous staining procedures. “Our hope is that this new technique will provide a lot more details for how the brain is wired,” said Jean Livet, a post-doctoral researcher who worked on the study. Lichtman is also hopeful that the new method will give neuroscientists a more complete picture of the brain. “Right now we can’t really tell if two wires cross or are just getting very close and veering off,” he said. “Wiring will be much easier when every...
