A super-resolution microscopy method for rapid differentiation of molecular structures in 3D
Super-resolution microscopy methods are essential for uncovering the structures of cells and the dynamics of molecules. Since researchers overcame the resolution limit of around 250 nanometers (while winning the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for thei.....»»
Fluid mixing enables scalable manufacturing of soft polymer structures
Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or "morphologies," from ribbons and nanoscale sheets to rods and branched particle.....»»

Like a flexible Lego railway track: How stable microtubules form within cells
Like poles support a tent, microtubules—hollow cylindrical structures made of tubulin protein—support eukaryotic cells. But microtubules provide more than just mechanical strength; they help prepare the cell for cell division and migration and wo.....»»
Electrocatalysis under the atomic force microscope
A further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force at solid-liquid interfaces. A team from the Helmho.....»»
