Atomic force microscopy, or AFM, is a widely used technique that can quantitatively map material surfaces in three dimensions, but its accuracy is limited by the size of the microscope's probe. A new ...
Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...
Anyone who has watched steam billow up from a boiling kettle or seen ice crystals form on a wet window in winter has observed what scientists call a phase transition. Phase transitions—such as those ...
Understanding when and why a cell dies is fundamental to the study of human development, disease and aging. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, ...
A team of researchers at the University of Victoria (UVic) have achieved a major breakthrough in electron microscopy that will allow scientists to visualize atomic-scale structures with unprecedented ...
Volume electron microscopy (vEM; also referred to as volume EM) describes a set of high-resolution imaging techniques used in biomedical research to reveal the 3D structure of cells, tissues and small ...
AIMED allows microscopes to image multiple depth layers simultaneously, producing detailed 3D reconstructions with reduced ...
In a study published in Science Advances, a team of bioengineering researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed an algorithm known as adaptive intersection maximization, or AIM ...
Researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm for removing systematic effects from atomic force microscopy images, enabling more precise profiles of material surfaces. Atomic force microscopy, ...
