| Microscope probe-sharpening technique improves resolution, durability Posted: 06 Jul 2012 01:55 PM PDT A simple new improvement to an essential microscope component could greatly improve imaging for researchers who study the very small, from cells to computer chips. Researchers developed a technique to sharpen microscope probes, giving images much higher resolution, and a coating to make the probes durable.  |
| World's fastest camera used to detect rogue cancer cells Posted: 06 Jul 2012 01:44 PM PDT Researchers report integrating the world's fastest camera with advanced microfluidics and real-time image processing to classify cells in blood samples. The new blood screening technology boasts a throughput of 100,000 cells per second which is approximately 100 times higher than conventional imaging-based blood analyzers. The technology performs real-time detection of extremely rare cells in a large sample of normal cells with high sensitivity and statistical accuracy in a short period of time.  |
| Aqueous iron interacts as strong as solid iron Posted: 06 Jul 2012 01:42 PM PDT Scientists have applied a new method -- "inverse Partial Fluorescence Yield" (iPFY) on micro-jets -- which will enable them to probe the electronic structure of liquids free of sample damages. The experiments are performed in vacuum conditions at the LiXEdrom experimental chamber, where a fluid stream of micrometer diameter is moving freely through vacuum and is continuously irradiated with X-ray radiation.  |
| Spaceflight may extend the lifespan of microscopic worm Posted: 06 Jul 2012 07:55 AM PDT The effect of spaceflight on a microscopic worm -- Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) -- could help it live longer. The discovery was made by scientists studying the loss of bone and muscle mass experienced by astronauts after extended flights in space.  |
| Photonics: The smaller the better Posted: 05 Jul 2012 10:33 AM PDT Waveguides that combine metallic and semiconductor structures can be made more compact, experts say.  |
| Nanomaterials: Formation in a flash Posted: 05 Jul 2012 10:33 AM PDT A new lithography technique enables the production of nanoscale patterns of titania for high-tech applications.  |
