UCSF Researchers Use Innovative Approach to Yield Images of TRPV1 with Unprecedented Clarity.

Biology moves into the third dimension, may help observe how a brain develops and viruses attack.

This is the first time TEM has been used for 3D dynamic imaging of so-called soft materials

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.

At just a molecule thick, it’s a new record: The world’s thinnest sheet of glass, a serendipitous discovery by scientists at Cornell and Germany’s University of Ulm, is recorded for posterity in the Guinness Book of World Records.
