"Our new method enables us to take cells that cannot be anchored on surfaces and then use an optical trap to study them at a very high resolution."

In the study, human subjects viewed a series of quickly flashed images, and reported which ones they saw and which they could not see, while their brain activity was monitored using magnetoencephalography

New probe induces blood flow changes that can be seen by MRI

New technique reveals direct experimental evidence of strong coupling between electron motion and deformations in atomic arrangements that affect the flow of current

"Probes that are highly specific, attach effectively and above all are small hold great potential. They can help shed light on the layout of proteins in their natural cellular context and even allow quantifying them," scientist says.

Rainbow hues clarify cell lineages, could illuminate cancer, blood disorders

Berkeley Lab-led scientists illuminate protein as it splits water to create oxygen

A new super-resolution imaging technique allows researchers to track how surface changes in proteins are related to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases

Janelia scientists have developed the first adaptive light-sheet microscope—an instrument that continuously analyzes and adapts to dynamic changes in a specimen and thereby improves spatial resolution
