In the limited space of the nucleus, most of the genome is tightly folded, leaving accessible only the parts that need to be transcribed. There is “huge interest” in determining which elements of the ...

A research team has developed a technique that enables the nanoscale observation of heat propagation paths and behavior within material specimens. This was achieved using a scanning transmission ...

What do Best Buy, the Blue Man Group and Google X have in common? They've all tapped Elliott Hedman and his sensors to help make their stuff better. Hedman is the founder of the design consultancy ...

The quest to artificially create and control structural colors has been driven by their unique properties: they can be more vibrant, longer-lasting, and less toxic than traditional pigments. Moreover, ...

A research team including members from the University of Michigan have unveiled a new observational technique that's sensitive to the dynamics of the intrinsic quantum jiggles of materials, or phonons ...

A research team has established an optimized three-dimensional (3D) tissue-staining and observation technique based on existing tissue clearing technology. The study details how the new technique can ...

Hugh Willoughby receives funding from National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He also serves on the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Estimation Methodology ...

(a) System used to characterize nanoscale heat propagation within material specimens. (b) Map showing different degrees of resistance to heat propagation (thermal wave phase differences) in a ...
