Delicate Relation between Single Spins
Probing the magnetic interaction between single atoms is no longer a dream. Using a scanning tunnelling microscope, the interaction of the spins of two neighbouring cobalt atoms adsorbed at a copper surface has been measured as a function of their distance with atomic precision. view more (2007-03-05)
Nowhere to hide -- new ultra-powerful microscope probes atomic world
A unique electron microscope, the first of its kind in the world, was unveiled yesterday at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in Warrington. view more (2008-01-25)
Every State School in Britain given science manual
British scientist Brian J Ford has published a science manual for British schools. A copy is being sent free of charge to state schools The book was commissioned by NESTA as part of Science Year. NESTA have already given an Intel Play QX3 digital microscope to British schools, and the new manual is filled with experiments school students can try... view more... (2002-05-28)
Scientists shed light on the mystery of photosynthesis
Scientists at the University of Sheffield are part of an international team that has become the first to successfully discover how the component parts of photosynthesis fit together within the cell membrane. In a paper, The native architecture of a photosynthetic membrane, published in Nature on 26 August 2004, they describe how the configuration... view more... (2004-08-25)
Oosight microscope enables embryonic stem cell breakthrough
A noninvasive, polarized light microscope invented at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) played a crucial role in a recent breakthrough in embryonic stem-cell research aimed at developing medical therapies. view more (2007-11-30)
SUNY researcher issued patent for virtual telemicroscope
After nearly ten years of research and development, scientists at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and Peking University in Beijing were awarded a United States patent for their virtual telemicroscope. This patented software permits off-site pathologists to diagnose cancer or other diseases in patients living in remote locations around... view more... (2008-03-28)
One membrane, many frequencies
Modern hearing aids, though quite sophisticated, still do not faithfully reproduce sound as hearing people perceive it. New findings at the Weizmann Institute of Science shed light on a crucial mechanism for discerning different sound frequencies and thus may have implications for the design of better hearing aids. view more (2007-03-28)
Rapid movements of living biomolecules visualised
Dutch researcher Chris Molenaar has made the rapid movements of proteins, DNA and RNA molecules visible in living cells. With this technique researchers can study the dynamics of biomolecules in their natural environment. Molenaar developed a method which makes it possible to follow the movements of RNA molecules in living cells. The researcher... view more... (2003-06-24)
First high-resolution images of bone, tooth and shell formation
Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have for the first time made high-resolution images of the earliest stages of bone formation. They used the world's most advanced electron microscope to make three-dimensional images of the nano-particles that are at the heart of the process. view more (2009-03-13)
New thermal microscope chosen as Millennium Product
A new type of microscope that can look beneath the surface of an opaque material has been granted Millennium Product status. The news was announced by Trade and Industry Secretary Peter Mandelson at the CBI Conference in Birmingham today, Monday 2 November. The microscope is a product of collaborative research at Loughborough and Lancaster... view more... (1998-11-04)
All done with mirrors: NIST microscope tracks nanoparticles in 3-D
A clever new microscope design allows nanotechnology researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to track the motions of nanoparticles in solution as they dart around in three dimensions. view more (2008-03-11)
Shedding light on cancer cells
Scientists label cells with coloured or glowing chemicals to observe how basic cellular activities differ between healthy and cancerous cells. Existing techniques for labelling cells are either too slow or too toxic to perform on live cells. view more (2009-09-25)
Growing glowing nanowires to light up the nanoworld
The nano world is getting brighter. Nanowires made of semiconductor materials are being used to make prototype lasers and light-emitting diodes with emission apertures roughly 100 nm in diameter-about 50 times narrower than conventional counterparts. view more (2006-05-26)
Automated screening process may eventually reduce additional breast cancer surgeries
A team of researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the Moores UCSD Cancer Center have developed a rapid, automated image screening process to distinguish breast cancer cells from normal cells. view more (2009-02-02)
New screening method to help find better biofuel crops
In the face of skyrocketing gasoline prices, ethanol has become a hot commodity along with the corn used to make it. Researchers at the US DOE's Ames Laboratory have developed a method to screen other more cost effective and sustainable crops to produce ethanol. view more (2007-06-06)
Blacksmith’s secret revealed
In an international study into the fine structure of steel, Technology Foundation STW researchers have revealed how strong steel is formed. By analysing red-hot steel with an x-ray microscope, the researchers discovered how at a temperature of 900 oC, numerous microscopic crystals suddenly developed in the steel. The findings were published in the... view more... (2002-11-15)
How to enhance non-thermal effects of ultrasound
In recent years HIFU has been widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, such as liver tumor, bone tumor, and breast cancer. The mechanism for therapeutic actions of HIFU includes thermal effects and non-thermal effects with the latter dominated by cavitational effects. view more (2008-12-29)
Plastics that convert light to electricity could have a big impact
Researchers the world over are striving to develop organic solar cells that can be produced easily and inexpensively as thin films that could be widely used to generate electricity. view more (2009-08-05)
Carbon-based quantum dots could mean 'greener' safer technology in medicine and biology
Chemists at Clemson University say they have developed a new type of quantum dot that is the first to be made from carbon. view more (2006-05-24)
Digital zebrafish embryo provides the first complete developmental blueprint of a vertebrate
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have generated a digital zebrafish embryo - the first complete developmental blueprint of a vertebrate. With a newly developed microscope scientists could for the first time track all cells for the first 24 hours in the life of a zebrafish. view more (2008-10-10)
