Tracking multiple genes with flying colors

Feb 03, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Even fans of black-and-white film can’t deny that color brought new life to photography and motion pictures. And when it comes to learning what happens inside the body, there’s no substitute for color. Were it possible, for example, to map out real-time gene expression in...

Quantum leap on film

Feb 03, 2022 (Nanowerk News) In order to better understand (and possibly control) fast chemical reactions, it is necessary to study the behaviour of electrons as precisely as possible – in both space and time. However, up to now, microscopy methods have delivered only either spatially or temporally sharp images....

Quantum material should be a conductor but remains an insulator

Feb 03, 2022 (Nanowerk News) This research (Scientific Reports, "Giant electron-phonon coupling of the breathing plane oxygen phonons in the dynamic stripe phase of La1.67Sr0.33NiO4") sheds light on the mechanism behind how a special quantum material transitions from an electrical insulator to an electricity-conducting metal. Below a critical temperature, the...
