Light field microscopy (LFM) is a revolutionary technique first introduced in 2006 which can essentially capture a 3D volume in a single snapshot, complete with digital refocusing and deconvolution.

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 ...

Because this molecule was constructed in solution, the electrospray technique allows the researchers to get the molecules ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...

The system uses a remote liquefaction scheme to deliver continuous cooling without mechanical vibrations, enabling ångström-resolution imaging without the need of liquid helium. Optical-coupled ...

The original goal was to investigate biological samples on a molecular scale – but this soon led to stubborn technical problems. Eventually, however, the researchers realized that the very source of ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...
