Measuring a thought has always been difficult. Neuroscientists have some clever ways, but now University of Connecticut researchers describe in Scientific Reports the flashiest method may be less ...

As object identification and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques become essential in various reverse engineering, artificial intelligence, medical diagnosis, and industrial production ...

UNC School of Medicine researchers, led by Ian Shih, Ph.D., associate professor of Neurology and Biomedical Research Imaging Center, developed an improved fiber-based optical method to measure ...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods rely on adhesive or mechanical forces to hold and scan cells, which limit ...

Researchers at Korea University, Seoul, have developed a new all-optical method for driving multiple highly dense nanolaser arrays. The approach could enable chip-based optical communication links ...

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) manifest early at the microscopic (i.e. cellular) level, deep in the brain. Yet, optical microscopes that can see cells in the ...

In recent advancements in life sciences, optical microscopy has played a crucial role in acquiring high-quality three-dimensional structural and functional information. However, the quality of 3D ...

Understanding how neural circuit activity emerges from, and feeds back into, underlying molecular states is a central challenge in modern neuroscience.

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was the literal job title of the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians who drove the ...
