<a href="https://tribogenics.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Tribogenics - Developing Technology</a>, a Los Angeles based start-up is building a next generation X-Ray machines by shrinking their size down to a size of an iPhone. This x-Ray machines could be an "AWW" moment to a one and half century old <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray#Discovery" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">X Ray Discovery</a>, as this X-Ray machine does not require a high voltage input required in conventional X-Ray machines, which has been a limitation for downsizing the X-Ray machines, this long.

It is an UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) project, backed by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and TATRC (Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center), with researchers Carlos Camara, Juan Escobar, Jonathan Hird, and Seth Putterman, found a solution to eliminate the need for high voltage input to X-Ray machines using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Triboelectric Effect</a>. Dale Fox, a startup entrepreneur and inventor, along with Dr. Carlos Camera and some other researchers transformed this solution into a product through Tibogenics.
Recently, Tribolgenics railsed $2.5 million from Flywheel Ventures and  a network of global angel investors, to ensure the product availability in market within a year. This device, when rolled out in market, could make a huge differnce in X-Ray usage in mining, military, medical imaging, security and other industries.

This patented technology could also make it possible to use the X-Rays for domestic purposes too. Also, it is just the start for these compact X-Ray machines which could get even more smaller and rugged in the future. It is going to be like using the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricorder" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tricorder</a>from the Star Treck movies.
