Researchers employed terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to investigate oxygen-vacancy migration in amorphous ZrO2 films, revealing its critical role in conductivity and polarization behavior. The study establishes a physical framework for understanding ferroelectric-like phenomena in amorphous oxide materials.
A team of scientists used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain activity in two key visual regions, the lateral occipital complex (LOC) and fusiform face area (FFA). The study found that fNIRS successfully measured LOC activity but had limitations in detecting FFA activity due to its depth. This research has th...
Researchers have developed a new manufacturing pipeline to simplify and advance high-value manufacturing of tissue-compatible organs, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. This breakthrough aims to address the dire need for artificially engineered organs and tissue grafts, potentially saving thousands of lives in the UK.
A pharmacy PhD student from Iraq has won the Best Oral Presentation award at a major international conference for pharmaceutical sciences. Haja Muhamad's prize-winning talk explored the effects of prandial dosing on dosage forms using imaging and spectroscopic analysis.
Researchers developed a new microscopy method combining STED fluorescence microscopy with raster image correlation spectroscopy to track molecule movements in live cells. This allows for high-resolution analysis of biomolecular dynamics, enabling better understanding of cell membranes and protein interactions.
