Potential leap forward in electron microscopy
MIT electrical engineers have proposed a new scheme that can overcome a critical limitation of high-resolution electron microscopes: they cannot be used to image living cells because the electrons destroy the samples. view more (2009-10-07)
McMaster University unveils world's most advanced microscope
The most advanced and powerful electron microscope on the planet-capable of unprecedented resolution-has been installed in the new Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy at McMaster University. view more (2008-10-21)
The closest look ever at native human tissue
Seeing proteins in their natural environment and interactions inside cells has been a long-standing goal. Using an advanced microscopy technique called cryo-electron tomography, researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] have visualised proteins responsible for cell-cell contacts for the first time. view more (2007-12-06)
New light microscope may help unlock some of cells' secrets
A microscopy technique pioneered with the help of Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has led to the development of a new light microscope capable of looking at proteins on a molecular level. view more (2006-08-17)
Wellcome Trust grant to investigate degenerative brain diseases known as `tauopathies`
Dr Julian Thorpe, head of the Electron Microscopy Lab at the University of Sussex, will be working towards a better understanding of degenerative brain diseases thanks to a £247,000 grant from the Wellcome Trust. He is taking a very close look at a possible contributory cause of nerve cell death in a group of conditions related to... view more... (2002-04-17)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)
Asian Breakthrough for Swedish Nanotech Company
Nanofactory Instruments, a spin-off company from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, has recently had a breakthrough in Asia. Through two very prestigious contracts from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Beijing University, both world leading nanotech research centres, the Swedish nanotech start-up... view more...

Capturing cell protein production in action could help fight antibiotic resistance
The fight against antibiotic resistance could be aided by new 3D images of the final steps involved in manufacturing proteins in living cells, scientists reveal today in a letter to Nature. By refining a technique known as cryo-electron microscopy, researchers from Imperial College London and CNRS-Inserm-Strasbourg University have determined how... view more... (2004-02-25)
New technique yields more detailed picture of chromatin structure
University of Illinois researchers have developed a technique for imaging cells under an electron microscope that yields a sharper image of the structure of chromatin, the tightly wound bundle of genetic material and proteins that makes up the chromosomes. view more (2008-04-17)
A snapshot of the transformation
Researchers have achieved a milestone in materials science and electron microscopy by taking a high-resolution snapshot of the transformation of nanoscale structures. view more (2008-09-12)
New hybrid microscope probes nano-electronics
A new form of scanning microscopy that simultaneously reveals physical and electronic profiles of metal nanostructures has been demonstrated at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2006-10-30)
NIST reference materials are 'gold standard' for bio-nanotech research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued its first reference standards for nanoscale particles targeted for the biomedical research community-literally "gold standards" for labs studying the biological effects of nanoparticles. view more (2008-01-10)
Argonne scientists discover networks of metal nanoparticles are culprits in alloy corrosion
Oxide scales are supposed to protect alloys from extensive corrosion, but scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered metal nanoparticle chinks in this armor. view more (2008-08-05)
Nano-sediment highways in catalyst
Dutch chemists have visualised how the porous structure of a zeolite catalyst depends on the production method. Zeolite made with carbon fibres as a template, has particles with straight canals that act as highways for the oil components which must be converted into benzene components. Zeolite is normally given a steam treatment to improve its... view more... (2003-03-21)
Breaking the nanometer barrier in X-ray microscopy
Argonne National Laboratory scientists in collaboration with Xradia have created a new X-ray microscope technique capable of observing molecular-scale features, measuring less than a nanometer in height. view more (2006-11-10)
Nanomicroscopy reveals the collective transport of gold atoms in real-time
Researchers at Delft University of Technology used a High Resolution Electron Microscope to observe in real-time the collective transportation of gold atoms in a thin layer. view more (2007-02-06)
Groundbreaking Superstem Microscope Opened At Daresbury Laboratory
The science minister, Lord Sainsbury, will today open the highest resolution analytical microscope in the world at the CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire. The SuperSTEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope) project is directed by Professor Peter Goodhew at Liverpool University and involves other scientists from the Universities of... view more...

Full 3-D image of nanocrystals' interior created by shining X-rays through them
A vital step towards the ultimate goal of being able to take 'photographs' of individual molecules in action has been achieved by an international team led by UCL (University College London) researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology. view more (2006-07-06)
UCSB researchers discover shape matters to macrophages
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size. view more (2006-03-22)
A virtual atlas of breast histopathology: An application of web based virtual microscopy
Researchers at the universities of Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) have developed a new virtual microscopy system, which allows users digitize entire microscope glass slide specimens, and then create a virtual slide with the quality and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a microscope. The results are high-resolution digital... view more... (2004-11-26)
