Using spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) techniques developed by Gabriel Popescu, director of the lab, the researchers were able to show for the first time how human embryonic stem cell ...

Networked nerve cells are the control center of organisms. In a nematode, 300 nerve cells are sufficient to initiate complex behavior. To understand the properties of the networks, researchers switch ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

Precise measurements show that future quantum computers may need to correct for errors caused by interference between neighboring quantum dots. (Nanowerk News) Devices that can confine individual ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

Devices that can confine individual electrons are potential building blocks for quantum information systems. But the electrons must be protected from external disturbances. RIKEN researchers have now ...
