New camera offers ultrafast imaging at a fraction of the normal cost

Researchers developed a new diffraction-gated real-time ultrahigh-speed mapping (DRUM) camera that captures dynamic events in a single exposure at 4.8 million frames per second. The camera uses off-the-shelf components and is fast enough to capture highly dynamic biomedical processes or enable high-speed lidar systems.

Genetic tools probe microbial dark matter

Researchers have identified essential genes for the growth of Patescibacteria, a group of tiny microbes that live on larger bacteria. The study provides insights into their unique biology and potential biotechnology applications.

Reporters broadcast live, on-the-scene, inside living cells

Researchers from Rice University and Princeton University have developed a new technology that allows for the live monitoring of signaling protein networks in living cells. The 'live reporter' system uses unobtrusive proteins to tag specific proteins, which can activate fluorescent markers when they become phosphorylated.

Sky & Telescope Pocket Sky Atlas, 2nd Edition

Sky & Telescope Pocket Sky Atlas, 2nd Edition is a durable star atlas for planning sessions, identifying targets, and teaching celestial navigation.

Effects of spaceflight on heart cell formation from stem cells

Researchers used time-lapse imaging to show that mouse induced pluripotent stem cells differentiated into cardiomyocytes significantly faster at microgravity. The study, published in Stem Cells and Development, suggests a promising area of research for regenerative medicine and manned space travel.

Kestrel 3000 Pocket Weather Meter measures wind, temperature, and humidity in real time for site assessments, aviation checks, and safety briefings.

Are mosaic embryos the 'dark horse' of IVF?

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University found that mosaic embryos can adapt to abnormalities and persist in development, resulting in positive IVF outcomes. Mosaic embryos, which contain both normal and abnormal cells, were previously considered non-ideal candidates for IVF transfer due to the risk of aneuploidy.

New IVF device may improve fertility treatment

A new IVF technique uses open microwell setup to screen embryos before implantation, potentially increasing success rates. The method allows researchers to select the most viable embryos on a case-by-case basis, reducing the number of cycles and costs.

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) runs demanding GIS, imaging, and annotation workflows on the go for surveys, briefings, and lab notebooks.

Breakthrough for IVF?

Researchers have developed a method to identify embryos with chromosomal abnormalities using time-lapse imaging and morphokinetic analysis, avoiding invasive biopsies. This approach has shown significant improvements in implantation and live birth rates when low-risk embryos are transferred.

Video: 3-D time-lapse imaging captures twisted root mechanics for first time

Using 3D time-lapse imaging, scientists have discovered that plant roots twist and buckle to generate force and push through barriers, allowing them to grow in difficult soil conditions. The study sheds new light on the mechanics of root growth and reveals a previously unknown connection between root geometry and force generation.

Hubble movies reveal solar-system-sized traffic jams

Astronomers using Hubble Space Telescope images have created time-lapse movies revealing dynamic behavior of stellar jets. The studies show clouds of dust and gas within the jets move at different speeds, challenging existing understanding of star birth processes.
