Have a look round your living room. Everything around you is made up of molecules - just as you are. When they are put together, the molecules act as the building blocks of life. Every single building ...

(Nanowerk News) Fluorescence microscopy is a widely used technique in the life sciences that enables scientists to see specific parts of cells and tissues by labeling them with glowing molecules, ...

What does it look like in the nanocosmos of living cells? Fluorescence microscopy makes it possible to visualize specific molecules in cells or tissues and has become an integral part of biological ...

Polyprolines of different lengths, relatively stiff polypeptides, served as intramolecular “nanometer rulers” to demonstrate the highest MINFLUX resolutions in the Förster resonance energy transfer ...

A new set of precision distance measurements made with an international collection of radio telescopes have greatly increased the likelihood that theorists need to revise the “standard model” that ...

A new method for measuring distance based on an optical frequency comb has been unveiled by physicists in the Netherlands. The main benefit of the technique, which involves passing the light from an ...

Have you ever wondered how astronomers measure the distance to other objects in the universe? How do they make claims that this nebula is 1,500 light years distance or that galaxy is 2.5 million light ...
