easySTORM: High resolution – low costs
easySTORM: a robust, lower-cost approach to localization and TIRF microscopy A broad range of new microscopy methodologies have recently been introduced collectively referred to as “super-resolved microscopy (SRM)”. They offer resolution measured in tens of nanometers...
Reducing Adsorption of Proteins on Nanoparticles
To avoid an undesired protein adsorption, nanoparticles were masked with poly(2-oxazoline)s resulting in a stealth coating comparable or superior to PEG.
Advanced Particle Characterization Techniques
Luis Liz-Marzán and Sara Bals present a collection of selected contributions by different researchers who are recognised as experts in the field of structural characterization as well as on optical and catalytic properties of nanoparticles.
Ionic Liquids in Polymer Design
A special issue in Macromolecular Rapid Communications presents selected highlights in the exciting field of ionic liquid-based polymers.
Anisotropic Conductive Films by Shear-Flow
Anisotropic conductive films can be produced by shear flow that induces the self-assembly of conductive fillers (like carbon nanotubes, graphene or inexpensive carbon black) into parallel stripes in a polymer matrix.
A solution for low loss, three-dimensional structures at optical frequencies
Sheng Liu, Igal Brener, Mike Sinclair and other co-workers from Sandia National Laboratories demonstrated both two-dimensional and multilayer (3D) dielectric metamaterials made from III-V semiconductors (elements from groups III and V on the periodic table) using a monolithic fabrication process.
Combining of Fluorescence Microscopy with an AFM
Combination of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) with the single-molecule-sensitive fluorescence microscopy platform “MicroTime 200” that grants fascinating insights into the structure, dynamics, and interactions of single molecules or their assemblies in cells.
Soft Wheels and Rotary Motors Based on Peristaltic Motion
The Mazzeo Research Group has designed soft motors by combining pneumatically-driven elastomeric structures with peristaltic motion.
Topical Issue: Image Processing in Biomedical Diagnosis
A special issue of Journal of Biophotonics is devoted to the topic of image analysis and processing in biomedical diagnosis.
