Researchers at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (MD, USA) have combined two different microscope technologies to create sharper images of rapidly moving processes inside ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

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 ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

Exosomes are small vesicles, ranging from 30-120 nanometers in diameter, secreted from cells throughout the human body. They are marked on their surface by proteins termed ‘tetraspanins’, aptly named ...

They protect us from the onslaught of bacteria and viruses and also from cancer: T cells are an indispensable part of our immune system. They constantly renew their surface with thousands of highly ...

(Nanowerk News) In work that could lead to new ways of detecting and treating malaria, MIT researchers have used two advanced microscopy techniques to show in unprecedented detail how the malaria ...

Cell surface receptors, such as the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), play central roles signalling pathways. Due to their central role in regulating a wide range ...

Our approach to super-resolution microscopy is fundamentally different from most existing techniques such as stimulated emission depletion microscopy, structured illumination microscopy, or ...
