Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths ...

We currently have some older SPOT cameras attached to microscopes - they work okay, but are somewhat slow (they expose Red/expose Blue/expose Green). On wetter slides this creates problems since at ...

Many technological applications, such as sensors and batteries, greatly rely on electrochemical reactions. Improving these ...

The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...

Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future insight into ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in medical imaging, producing the sharpest-ever scan of a brain. The scan, which is 64 million times clearer than a typical clinical MRI, was created by a team ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Robert Prevedel is a researcher at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL; Heidelberg, Germany), whose lab focuses on developing light microscopy-based techniques for a variety of ...
