X-ray microscopes are essential for examining components and materials because they can be used to detect changes and details in the material. Until now, however, it has been difficult to detect small ...

A new microscopy method enables researchers to visualize the activity of the enzymes caspase-3 and alkaline phosphatase in various biological samples (Nat. Methods 2024, DOI: ...

New methods to improve super-resolution imaging techniques are giving biologists a clearer and more complete view of the inner workings of living cells. A new paper in Nature Biotechnology from the ...

Processes in the human body are shaped by the interaction of various biomolecules, such as proteins and DNA. These processes take place in a range of often just a few nanometers. They can therefore no ...

In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon – when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed a new microscopy technique that reconstructs three-dimensional images from significantly fewer measurements, potentially accelerating ...

Imagine building a traffic surveillance camera that could detect trouble-making cells speeding around in your brain before their cellular gang could commit "crimes." Most importantly, this camera ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...
