21. Virtual Laboratories Real-time access to remote instruments
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center 3-D Brain Mapping
Here are some examples of various applications already in use:
This application links an MRI machine with a supercomputer to produce 3-D visualizations of the neurons in a patient’s brain firing in real-time. The resulting animation can be viewed by any doctor that has access to high-performance networking. These capabilities transform the process of visualizing a patient’s brain—a process that normally takes days—and allows doctor’s to work in ways not previously possible.

22. Virtual Laboratories Real-time access to remote instruments
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Distributed nanoManipulator
This is an application which allows remote control of an electron microscope that can actually move molecules around. The application also provides “force feed-back” to the remote operator.

23. Virtual Laboratories Mauna Kea Observatories AURA University of Hawaii
Here are pictures of various applications already in use:
1) the Upper Atmosphere research Collaboratory (UARC) developed at the University of Michigan--allows researchers access to data from instruments in Greenland w/o having to travel there, and allows them to discuss and interact in real time. This applications allows access to broader audience, including the second-order affect of enabling graduate students (who would never have been able to go to Greenland) to look in on research.
2&3) Pictures of a the output from a scanning electron microscope--allows access to expensive, specialized equipment by students--allows them to control in the microscope and see the output as if they were in the same room
--These both require advanced network capabilities to work--either don’t work, or won’t work well on today’s internet.
