New all-optical imaging technique achieves a record 15 trillion frames per second

New all-optical imaging technique with an unprecedented frame rate allows scientists to visualize ultrafast transient phenomena.

An automated method for 3D-printing tiny multicolor microstructures

Automatic approach could enable precision fabrication of optical components and multimaterial structures.

Sturdy fabric-based piezoelectric energy harvester for wearable electronics

Researchers demonstrate a highly flexible but sturdy wearable piezoelectric harvester using the simple and easy fabrication process of hot pressing and tape casting.

Size determines how nanoparticles affect biological membranes

Researchers have tested whether gold nanoparticles could be toxic to cells, finding how they affect lipid membranes depends on their size.

Nanoscaffold smart drug delivery system may help treatment for neurological disorders

Researchers have created a smart drug delivery system that reduces inflammation in damaged nervous tissues and may help treat spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders.

Self-imaging of a molecule by its own electrons: mapping the atomic motion during a molecular vibration

Scientists show that high-resolution movies of molecular dynamics can be recorded using electrons ejected from the molecule by an intense laser field.

Controlled dynamics of colloidal rods: Physicists develop basic principles for mini-laboratories on chips

Researchers have discovered that colloidal rods can be moved on a chip quickly, precisely, and in different directions, almost like chess pieces. A pre-programmed magnetic field even enables these controlled movements to occur simultaneously.

Researchers develop the world's smallest ultrasound detector

With a size 100 times smaller than an average human hair, the new detector can visualize features that are much smaller than previously possible, leading to what is known as super-resolution imaging.
