Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

Mircea Fotino, a retired professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB), passed away on January 23, 2023, dying peacefully at home in the company of his family. Mircea was born in ...

Researchers have demonstrated a switch, analogous to a transistor, made from a single molecule called fullerene. By using a carefully tuned laser pulse, the researchers are able to use fullerene to ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of ...

(Nanowerk News) We, and everything around us consists of molecules. The molecules are so tiny that even a speck of dust contains countless of them. The more fascinating it is that nowadays it is ...
