Advances in nonlinear microscopy allow researchers to take detailed images deep below the surface of samples
Optical microscopes, also known as light microscopes, provide detailed images of sample surfaces, but their use in looking below the surface is limited. A workaround is to look for signals given off by a ...

First-ever 3-D stress map of developing embryonic heart sheds light on why defects form
As a human fetus develops, its heart has to keep pace with the new body's ever-growing demands. Much of this is controlled by following genetic blueprints, but the embryonic heart also matures in response ...
