Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the ...

ALTHOUGH nominally this is a second edition of Mr. Scales's “Elementary Microscopy,” published in 1905, yet it is in effect a new book. The first edition was not so pretentious, and did not attempt to ...

A new microscopy method has allowed researchers to detect tiny changes in the atomic-level architecture of crystalline materials—like advanced steels for ship hulls and custom silicon for electronics.

WASHINGTON -- Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are often accompanied by amyloid proteins in the brain that have become clumped or misfolded. A newly developed technique ...

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 ...

Zahra El-Schich (left) is a researcher at Malmö University, Sweden, where she received her PhD in Medical Science. Over the years El-Schich has been interested in the technology behind digital ...

Conventional fluorescence microscopy provides poor quantitative information of the sample because it only captures fluorescence intensity, which changes frequently and depends on external factors. Now ...

Traditional fluorescence microscopy techniques collect only a small amount of the light emitted from a sample at any one time, so a route to improving their efficiency is to capture more of that light ...

A new variant of expansion microscopy that is tailored for brain pathology samples reveals cells and structures that can’t be seen with other methods. Expansion microscopy is a way of achieving the ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo developed pump-field-probe fluorescence microscopy, a new method that reveals short-lived, magnetically sensitive biomolecular intermediates that do not emit ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
