The interactions in photovoltaic materials that convert light into electricity happens in femtoseconds. How fast is that? One femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second­­. To put that in perspective, ...

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 ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...

QIScope: When imaging low protein levels in live cells on the high-sensitivity QIScope, bioluminescence (blue) significantly outperforms fluorescence (green). (Courtesy: Ruyu Ma - Helmholtz Munich) A ...
