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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The ability of single particle cryo-electron microscopy to capture structural information on samples that could not be crystallized for use with crystallographic methods or were too delicate for ...

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 ...

A pioneering team at the University of Cambridge has showcased today (25 June) work that is revolutionising biological research with state-of-the-art microscope technologies. The team’s efforts are ...
