Noninvasive inspection of layered structures is challenging for time-resolved imaging methods, where the resolution and contrast can be compromised by prominent signal attenuation with interlayer reflections and dispersions.
A trio of environmental scientists and city planners from the University of California, Berkeley, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the University of Miami has found that as motorists slowly make the jump ...
A new single-cell encapsulation, lysis and barcoding method of cDNA is faster and requires less equipment, hardware, expense and expertise. It has been demonstrated to be compatible and scalable with any size container, from ...
One of the biggest achievements of quantum physics was recasting our vision of the atom. Out was the early 1900s model of a solar system in miniature, in which electrons looped around a solid nucleus. Instead, quantum physics ...
