Volume electron microscopy (volumeEM) refers to a group of recently developed imaging approaches that use scanning and transmission electron microscopy to visualise cells and tissues at high resoluti...

Iron-sulphide-bearing aggregates can compromise concrete durability when reactive sulphide phases, particularly pyrrhotite (Fe1–xS), oxidise and contribute to internal sulphate attack, cracking, and ...

Plant roots must continuously sense and adapt to their environment as they grow through soil. When roots encounter an obstacle in the soil, they must either grow through it or bypass it by growing ar...

Solid-state quantum emitters (QEs) at room temperature are central to emerging technologies in quantum computing, communication, and sensing. These atomic-scale defects require high-resolution spatia...

An improved Brillouin–Raman micro-spectroscopy platform enables simultaneous mechanical and chemical mapping of soft materials at micrometre resolution, using a shared confocal pinhole to acquire spe....

Lattice light-sheet microscopy (LLSM) enables researchers to capture high-speed 3D videos of living cells with high definition and minimal damage. However, this technology generates terabytes of data...

Conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) staining improves image contrast but requires additional sample preparation, consumes reagents and tissue, and may introduce deformation, local mis...

We report an improved version of the open-source optical autofocus (OAF) module (openAF) for light microscopy, replacing the superluminescent diode (SLD) with a multimode-optical fibre-coupled LED as...

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) encompass technologies that measure gene expression in tissue samples without disrupting their organisation, unlike other single-cell techniques. In imaging-based ST spec...
