Novel Technique Employs Molecular Vibrations to Map Microscopic Environments

Scientists have long known that a molecule's behavior depends on its environment. Taking advantage of this phenomenon, a group of researchers at the University of Chicago developed a new technique to map microscopic environments using the vibrations of molecules.

Mammoth Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Used to Study Disordered Proteins

A pro at navigating the labyrinthine hallways in the Chemistry Building, Scott Showalter, researcher and associate professor of chemistry in Penn State's Eberly College of Science, maneuvers from his office, class and a handful of laboratories throughout the day. But it’s one workspace in particular, home to the ScholarSphere, a drum-shaped hunk of machinery — essentially a gigantic MRI on stilts — where Showalter is moving closer to the biomedical breakthrough he so desires.

Two-Photon Microscopy Helps View Calcium Sensors in Brain Cells

Researchers at Johns Hopkins have mapped the sound-processing part of the mouse brain in a way that keeps both the proverbial forest and the trees in view. Their imaging technique allows zooming in and out on views of brain activity within mice, and it enabled the team to watch brain cells light up as mice “called” to each other.

HHMI Thunder Tools Analyze Active Zebrafish Brain Images Taken with New Microscope

In an age of “big data,” a single computer cannot always find the solution a user wants. Computational tasks must instead be distributed across a cluster of computers that analyze a massive data set together. It's how Facebook and Google mine your web history to present you with targeted ads, and how Amazon and Netflix recommend your next favorite book or movie. But big data is about more than just marketing.

Multi-Wavelength Laser Overcomes Limitations of Serial Time-Encoded Amplified Microscopy for Ultrafast Imaging

Ultrafast real-time optical imaging is an effective and important tool for studying dynamical events, such as shock waves, neural activity, laser surgery and chemical dynamics in living cells. Limited by the frame rate, conventional imaging system such as charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) imaging device can not image fast dynamic processes.
