Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

(a) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nanoneedle probe used for the measurements. (b) Elasticity map of a 1 µm × 1 µm area on the nuclear surface, showing the change in elasticity ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) show great promise as an alternative to batteries for storing excess renewable energy as they achieve almost 100% electrical-to-H 2 efficiency. In the SOEC, ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...
