While probing single molecules or atoms typically requires liquid helium—a costly resource—to build a stable environment, a new development from a joint Chinese research team changes the game. By ...

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You can’t see an ...

A research team at the University of Tokyo has built a fluorescence microscopy system that can detect fleeting magnetic ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

Cornell scientists create microchip with light-impeding holes for detailed, optical observation of single molecules in their natural state ITHACA, N.Y. — Using a novel technique, supported largely by ...

The challenge: seeing atoms without freezing the budgetOptical-coupled scanning probe microscopes (OC-SPM) can visualize individual atoms and probe ...

An international research team has succeeded in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals ...

AMES, Iowa – By blending optical and atomic force microscope technologies, Iowa State University and Ames Laboratory researchers have found a way to complete 3-D measurements of single biological ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of Biomedical ...
