Soft Material Study Using TEM Through Unique Graphene Liquid Cell

Autumn is usually not such a great time for big special effects movies as the summer blockbusters have faded and those for the holiday season have not yet opened. Fall is more often the time for thoughtful films about small subjects, which makes it perfect for the unveiling of a new movie produced by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).

NIH Awards $3.5 M for Advancing Single-Cell Label-Free Photoacoustic Microscopy for Cancer Detection

Cancer researchers have been limited by current imaging technology in their ability to detect not only structure and function of tumors, but also tumor cell circulation. A technology proposed by Lihong Wang, PhD, at Washington University in St. Louis, may hold the key to reaching this goal.

Wireless Technology Inspires New Fluorescence Imaging Using Radiofrequency-Tagged Emission Microscopy Technique

Fluorescence imaging is the most widely used method for analyzing the molecular composition of biological specimens. Target molecules, when they are present, can be "tagged" with a fluorescent label and made visible.

Scientists Utilize Single-Molecule Florescence Microscopy to Study Transformer-Like Spliceosome

Certain diseases such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy are linked to genetic mutations that damage the important biological process of rearranging gene sequences in pre-messenger RNA, a procedure called RNA splicing.

Smartphone Microscope Enables Fluorescent Imaging of Single Nanoparticles and Viruses

Scientists are reporting an advance in smartphone-based imaging that could help physicians in far-flung and resource-limited locations monitor how well treatments for infections are working by detecting, for the first time, individual viruses. Their study on the light-weight device, which converts the phone into a powerful mini-microscope, appears in the journal ACS Nano.

Scientists Use NMR Spectroscopic Method to Study Intermolecular NOEs in Ionic Liquids

Hardly a spectroscopic method boasts so many different applications as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, better known as "NMR". The approach of NMR spectroscopy is based on monitoring the so-called nuclear spin, namely the angular momentum of atoms, or, more precisely: the magnetic moment associated with them.

Advances in Camera Technology Improve Single-Particle Cryoelectron Microscopy

If you keep up with biology, you’ve probably seen those colorful images in which the atom-by-atom structure of a protein is portrayed by a tangle of ribbons. For the past couple of decades, scientists have been hard at work deriving these structures, which provide clues as to what proteins do.
