Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Even some 200 years after his death, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's scientific curiosity continues to yield new insights. This has now been demonstrated by biologists at Friedrich Schiller University ...

Scientists at PSI refined an X-ray diffraction technique that maps bone structure from nanometres to millimetres in about an hour, revealing collagen fibre alignment and enabling faster research on ...

Researchers have found in a new research that primary teeth affected by Regional odontodysplasia show marked microstructural abnormalities and weakened mechanical properties, highlighting ...

X-ray tomography is a powerful tool that enables scientists and engineers to peer inside of objects in 3D, including computer chips and advanced battery materials, without performing anything invasive ...

Nearly a century ago, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll provided the first demonstration of a microscope that could image specimens using electrons rather than light. The earliest images obtained via this ...

In a proof-of-concept study funded by the National Institutes of Health, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC ...

Springer Nature is a signatory of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). Because small numbers of highly cited articles can have outsized influence on certain citation measures ...

With PFITRE, Brookhaven scientists achieve breakthrough 3D imaging in nanoscale X-ray tomography, combining AI and physics for superior clarity and precision.
