Researchers have devised a technique for following the gelation of colloidal gels. Their confocal microscopy approach has allowed the totally different levels of the method to be analyzed, resulting in insights into their mechanical stability. It's hoped that the understanding gained utilizing this method will contribute to the event of ...

Engineers and neuroscientists have joined forces to create 3D movies of particular person nerve cells shifting, stretching and switching on inside fruit fly larvae as they transfer. Information gleaned from these movies reveals how nerve cells known as proprioceptive neurons work collectively to assist the physique sense the place it's ...

Human herpesviruses similar to HHV-6 can stay dormant in cells for a few years with out being observed. When reactivated, they'll trigger severe scientific situations. Researchers have now discovered a approach of differentiating between energetic and inactive viruses.

For one reason or another remember ek'n bit, like we did with the microscopes in the school. Well as some of the time is considered to be the leaves. But what is the potential ofâ great look at the world outside with modern microscopes!

The authors managed to combine in one device all the advantages of the different approaches to modern nano measurements: probe scanning microscopy (surface analysis and physical parameters of the object), optical Microspectroscopy (chemical mapping and the determination of the optical properties), and also nanotomography (accurate 3D imaging of the internal ...
