New microscope can image, at once, the full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells
A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...
Crystals can’t bend – or can they? New research sheds light on elusive ‘flexible crystals’
Crystals are supposed to be hard and brittle. But when we make them bendy, they help reveal the secrets of how elastic ...
A Trillion Bits in a Speck of Crystal – The Future of Data Storage
Scientists have discovered a way to use single missing atoms in crystals as memory cells, packing terabytes of data into a ...
Quantum-inspired advancement turns crystal gaps into terabyte storage for classical memory
From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used ...
