Organic molecular crystals can respond to external stimuli such as heat, light, and mechanical force, making them attractive candidates for next-generation functional materials. However, predicting ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

Rudolf Virchow fundamentally changed medicine when he formulated his cell theory of disease in the 19th century: Diseases do ...

Abstract: Quantitative differential phase-contrast (qDPC) imaging is a label-free phase retrieval method for weak phase objects using asymmetric illumination. However, qDPC imaging with fewer ...

Archival storage poses lots of challenges. We want media that is extremely dense and stable for centuries or more, and, ideally, doesn’t consume any energy when not being accessed. Lots of ideas have ...

Abstract: Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy (FPM) is a computational imaging technique that combines synthetic aperture and phase retrieval, enabling quantitative phase super-resolution imaging beyond ...

Optical microscopy is a technique employed to closely view a sample through the magnification of a lens with visible light. This is the traditional form of microscopy, which was first invented before ...

Could a city best known for its classical gardens and ancient canals emerge as China’s answer to Boston – the global epicentre of biotechnology innovation? Five years ago, the eastern city of Suzhou ...

There are more than one million investors involved in SMSFs and it’s not just that they run their own money – ensuring they will never need to tap the wider public for an aged pension – they do it ...

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 ...

Although it is well known that the morphology of Gram-negative rods changes on exposure to antibiotics, the morphology of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the absence of antibiotics has not been ...
