Pushing the limits of light microscopy

A team of researchers from the IMP Vienna together with collaborators from the Vienna University of Technology established a new microscopy technique which greatly enhances resolution in the third dimension. In a simple set-up, ...

Nanofluidics Identify Epigenetic Changes One Molecule at a Time

(PhysOrg.com) -- Using a system of nanofluidic channels and multicolor fluorescence microscopy, a team of investigators at Cornell University has developed a method that analyzes the binding of DNA and DNA-binding proteins ...

Microscope looks into cells of living fish

Microscopes provide valuable insights in the structure and dynamics of cells, in particular when the latter remain in their natural environment. However, this is very difficult especially for higher organisms. Researchers ...

Inexpensive paper sensor accurately IDs pathogenic bacteria

Bacterial infections are the leading cause of disease and death worldwide; an ongoing public health problem exacerbated by slow or inaccurate diagnostics. Now NIBIB-funded scientists have engineered an inexpensive, paper-based ...

How glow-in-the-dark jellyfish revolutionised plant biology

What happens inside plant cells? How can we see proteins in living cells that aren't even visible with a microscope? This was a problem in plant cell biology until the discovery of a fluorescent jellyfish and the isolation ...

Learning some new steps in the energy conversion dance

At the heart of energy conversion, electrons and protons move in an intricate, coordinated dance. Chemists at Yale and in Sweden say they may have learned the steps to a new, photo-chemical rhumba.
