The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

I'm on the hunt for a microbial saviour – a type of virus that can treat infections rather than cause them. We all know the ...

Scientists have created tiny disk-shaped particles that can swim on their own when hit with light, akin to microscopic robots ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

This is a valuable and rigorous study that addresses the question of what determines the spatial organization of endocytic zones at synapses. The authors use compelling approaches, in both Drosophila ...

Since 2006, the Molecular Foundry at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has empowered thousands of researchers to ...

A new microscope just arrived at the International Space Station to help study life ... in a paper arguing that it could potentially detect minute signs of life that regular 2D microscopes might ...

To build a 3D chip, several 2D chips are stacked together. Their layers must be aligned with extreme precision, down to tens of nanometers. This alignment must occur across all three dimensions: front ...

See how a 4K digital microscope transforms precision and efficiency across industries. ... Optional applications include the 2D Measurement & Graticules App, which provides tools like point-to-point, ...

Instead, their method finds errors up to 0.017 nm along side-to-side measures (x and y axes) and 0.134 nm when assessing the distance between the two chips (z-axis). "Consider you have two objects.
