Sensing: point-of-care sensors, mobile-phone enabled sensors, field-based sensing and measurement systems with applications in mobile health and telemedicine, environmental monitoring (for example, ...

New results give information about phase transitions at the nanoscale. nyone who has watched steam billow up from a boiling kettle or seen ice crystals form on a wet window in winter has observed what ...

In this article, we look at some of the key developments of various microscopy techniques over the last few years and how they have benefitted different areas of research and development. The impact ...

One variation of electron microscopy is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In a TEM experiment, the electron beam passes through the sample and the electrons are directly imaged onto an electron ...

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

Cells contain various specialized structures - such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes - known as "organelles''. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Engineers have improved the speed and throughput of Brillouin microscopy 1000-fold. A novel approach for Brillouin microscopy, developed by engineers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL ...
