In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast we talk about an X-ray detector that you can wrap around your finger; new computing technologies that are giving physics a boost; and how to minimize flooding risk during tropical storms. We also take a fresh look at quantum noise in a round-up of what is new on Physics World this week.
