A research team has developed a technique that enables the nanoscale observation of heat propagation paths and behavior within material specimens. This was achieved using a scanning transmission ...

In the limited space of the nucleus, most of the genome is tightly folded, leaving accessible only the parts that need to be transcribed. There is “huge interest” in determining which elements of the ...

A research team including members from the University of Michigan have unveiled a new observational technique that's sensitive to the dynamics of the intrinsic quantum jiggles of materials, or phonons ...

A research team has established an optimized three-dimensional (3D) tissue-staining and observation technique based on existing tissue clearing technology. The study details how the new technique can ...

Black hole discovery reshaped astrophysics by proving that some of the universe's most powerful objects cannot be seen directly but can be measured through their effects on space and time. Signals ...

Hugh Willoughby receives funding from National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He also serves on the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Estimation Methodology ...

(a) System used to characterize nanoscale heat propagation within material specimens. (b) Map showing different degrees of resistance to heat propagation (thermal wave phase differences) in a ...
