Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Upton-based research facility, broke ground recently for its Laboratory of BioMolecular Structure. The facility, which should be running fully in 2020, will serve ...

For the first time, labs around the world can 3-D print their own precision microscopes to analyse samples and detect diseases, thanks to an open-source design created at the University of Bath. The ...

There are now various attachments that allow you to capture microscope-scale images with your smartphone. Unfortunately, however, the limitations of the phone's lens and image sensor mean that those ...

UCLA researchers determined sperm carrying a Y chromosome swim differently than sperm carrying an X chromosome. In a study published October, Aydogan Ozcan, professor of electrical and computer ...

Engineer Manu Prakash helped develop a malaria-finding microscope that works in low-resource settings, improving access to sensitive infectious disease diagnostics.

Effective stereo microscope selection depends on understanding application demands and the performance factors that affect 3D ...

The nanoscale X-ray imaging of biological samples could soon be routine in any lab thanks to a breakthrough by physicists in the US. The team has shown that lensless X-ray microscopes do not ...

Imagine shrinking a microscope, integrating it with a chip and using it to observe inside living cells in real time. Wouldn't it be great if this tiny microscope could also be incorporated into ...

Biologists, instrument developers, and computational scientists have for the first time measured the density of a relatively inscrutable, highly condensed form of chromosomal material (heterochromatin ...

For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes, thanks to a new open-source design. For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision ...
