No methods currently exist for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease, which affects one out of nine people over the age of 65. Now, an interdisciplinary team of Northwestern University scientists and engineers has developed a noninvasive MRI approach that can detect the disease in a living animal. And it can do so at the earliest stages of the disease, well before typical Alzheimer's symptoms appear.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared RESCAN 700 for sale in the United States, bringing to U.S. ophthalmologists an emerging technology that aims to overcome the trouble surgeons may have in seeing certain anatomical details during eye surgery.
Physicists are continuously advancing the control they can exert over matter. A German-Spanish team working with researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg has now become the first to image the motion of the two electrons in a helium atom and even to control this electronic partner dance.
Fluorescence microscopes use technology that enables them to accomplish tasks not easy to achieve with normal light microscopes, including imaging DNA molecules to detect and diagnose cancer, nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, and drug resistance in infectious diseases.
In the December 2014 issue of the journal Nature Communications, California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) Assistant Professor of Physics Gerardo Dominguez, along with a team of world-renowned researchers from the University of California, San Diego; the University of California, Berkeley; the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and Center for Nanoscience, described the successful implementation of imaging techniques that will allow scientists to identify molecules and map their locations to areas smaller than a micron.
A research team led by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has proven a method that makes it possible to find the atomic structure of proteins in action by producing “snapshots” of them with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.
Junichiro Kono has been elected a 2015 fellow by the Optical Society of America, the leading professional association for optics and photonics, the sciences of light. Kono is a professor of electrical and computer engineering, of physics and astronomy and of materials science and nanoengineering.
Stanford engineers have designed and built a prism-like device that can split a beam of light into different colors and bend the light at right angles, a development that could eventually lead to computers that use optics, rather than electricity, to carry data.
EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that it has established the NILPhotonics™ Competence Center, which is designed to assist customers in leveraging EVG's suite of nanoimprint lithography (NIL) solutions to enable new and enhanced products and applications in the field of photonics.
Nanalysis is very excited to announce their newest bench-top NMR spectrometer, the NMReady 60 Pro. With its multi-nuclear capability and increased sensitivity, the NMReady 60 Pro raises the bar for NMR performance on the bench-top. The new product boasts support for proton, fluorine, phosphorus, boron, lithium, and carbon nuclei, a sub 1 Hz resolution, hetero-nuclear 2D experiments, and a sensitivity of 100:1 (single scan, 1% EtB).
