Axons in brain cells resemble a string of pearls rather than smooth tubes, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. This discovery, aided by advanced imaging and modeling, reveals how physical and ...
Researchers have created organic materials for brain and heart pacemakers, which rely on uninterrupted signal delivery to be effective. Using a plastic base known as polypropylene, the researchers ...
Researchers from Duke University and Stanford University used electron and laser microscopy and computer simulations of heart cockles to discover that their shells are designed with translucent areas ...
The study is published in the journal ACS Applied Nano Materials. Conventional electron microscopy often produces noisy images that obscure rubber's internal contours. The proposed method ...
Scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and (S)TEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) are useful instrumentation used in phase characterization of soft materials.
