This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

University of Staffordshire students are helping to shed new light on microplastic pollution following an international expedition ...

They used polarized light microscopy to observe the transition from disordered states to partially ordered and then fully ordered liquid crystalline phases.

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike but can’t be perfectly superimposed. This idea, called chirality or ...

Shine on: how do materials emit polarized light? Many materials emit light in ways that encode information in its polarization. According to researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ...

Light field microscopy (LFM) is an advanced imaging technique that captures four-dimensional light information—comprising both spatial and angular data—to computationally reconstruct three ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in ...

Whole-mount 3D imaging at the cellular scale is a powerful tool for exploring complex processes during morphogenesis. In organoids, it allows examining tissue architecture, cell types, and morphology ...
