Plant owners with a so-called green thumb often seem to have a more finely tuned sense of what their plants need than the ...

Researchers propose building fluorescence directly into microplastic polymer structures, enabling stable real-time imaging of how particles move, accumulate, and degrade in biological systems.

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Researchers have reported a chip-scale microoptical system that enables continuous, real-time fluorescence monitoring of three-dimensional living microtissues, addressing a longstanding barrier ...

Spectacular fluorescence has been spotted in 27 species that we didn't previously know were capable of glowing in the dark. The discoveries were made during a three-year study in the Red Sea in Egypt ...

Fluorescent anatomy, which recently seemed to be a quirk in unusual animals such as platypuses and opossums, was found in most living families of mammals. By Cara Giaimo At first, it seemed to be ...

Striking the Right Balance between Signal Strength and Long-Term Cell Health A key challenge with live-cell fluorescence imaging is the ability to visualize weak fluorescent signals over background ...

Flow cytometry detects and measures the chemical and physical properties and characteristics of particles or cells within a population. Samples are suspended in a liquid, held in a tube, and counted ...

In the early 1960s, Mack Fulwyler joined the lab of Marvin Van Dilla at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as an engineer to study the effect of fallout radiation from nuclear weapons testing on ...
