Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical instruments like microscopes and spectrometers. Fiore, a physicist by training, came ...

A team of materials scientists and engineers at ETH Zurich has developed a light-triggered chemical process for breaking down ...

SynPull combines single-molecule pull-down of synaptosomes with direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy ... synapses from human brain samples with Aβ pathology. The method can be adapted ...

This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. God said, “Let there be light”—everyone knows that. But God did not specify what color light, and this would eventually prove problematic. In the age ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features ... Tighten the zip tie so that it turns the pointer’s light on. IMPORTANT: do not look directly into the path of the laser ...

Cilia detect odors, light, and other stimuli ... and then tracked glia in-action using fluorescence microscopy. Then, to figure out how glia respond to normal and cilia-stunted nematodes, they ...

Red light therapy, also known as LED therapy, is gaining popularity in the skin care world for its potential anti-aging benefits. Dr. Rachel Nazarian, a board-certified dermatologist in New York ...

Neuron-to-neuron contact points are called synapses, and scientists seek to ... but also how strong each connection is. While electron microscopy has been used with great success to make visual ...
