Bioluminescent proteins made from scratch enable non-invasive, multi-functional biological imaging

Bioluminescent proteins made from scratch enable non-invasive, multi-functional biological imaging

Bioluminescence is the pure chemical course of of sunshine creation in some residing creatures that makes fireflies flicker and a few jellyfish glow. Scientists have lengthy been serious about borrowing the secrets and techniques of those animals’ light-producing genes to create related results in vertebrates, for quite a lot of biomedical functions. UC Santa Cruz … Read more

Ultrafast imaging technique reveals how ozone-damaging molecule reacts to light

Ultrafast imaging technique reveals how ozone-damaging molecule reacts to light

A long-predicted ultrafast pathway in the UV photochemistry of bromoform is visualized for the first time by femtosecond time-resolved electron diffraction. Credit: Melody Li, Debadarshini Mishra, and Lars Hoffmann For the first time, researchers have observed how bromoform rearranges its atoms in less than a trillionth of a second after it gets hit by an … Read more

12 new Oriental weevil species discovered using advanced imaging tools

12 new Oriental weevil species discovered using advanced imaging tools

Jake Lewis, an entomologist in the Environmental Science and Informatics Section at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), is fascinated by weevils, a diverse group of beetles that includes many species with elephant trunk-like mouthparts (called a rostrum). Weevils provide various ecosystem services such as pollination and decomposition, but some species are serious … Read more

New imaging analysis technique revolutionizes diagnostics of head and neck cancers

New imaging analysis technique revolutionizes diagnostics of head and neck cancers

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck area is among the ten most common types of cancer. Using a method based on machine learning, researchers at the University of Helsinki in collaboration with the University of Turku and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Germany analysed hundreds of biobank patient samples at … Read more
