Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

A triptych of microscope images that shows the binding of a host defense peptide, named MAD1-RI, to the membrane of tuberculosis pathogens, leading to destruction of the bacterial cell wall and death.

This confocal microscope image shows midbrain neurons (red) co-expressing the mu-opioid receptor (Oprm1, white) and cannabinoid receptor 1 (Cnr1, green). The interaction of these two reward pathways ...

For the last three years, Idaho National Laboratory researchers David Hurley and Robert Schley have been tinkering away on a new kind of microscope. Yet looking at the complex contraption now — a ...

Thermal imaging reveals heat that our eyes cannot see. Discover the insights behind creating a simple thermal camera ...
