Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like ...

EPFL researchers have developed a ‘self-driving’ microscope that can predict the onset of misfolded protein aggregation – a ...

Aiming at the polarized light transmission characteristics under complex sea fog environment, the sea fog is divided into two layers of salt fog layer and water fog layer. Firstly, the simulation ...

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

Photo-induced force microscopy began as a concept in the mind of Kumar Wickramasinghe when he was employed by IBM in the early years of the new millennium. After he came to the University of ...

A fully π-conjugated helical system combining rigid [6]helicenes and a flexible o-OPE unit has been developed, yielding enantiopure emitters with up to three helical loops. The compounds display ...

EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials emit polarized light over time.

Wearable visible light communication systems face fundamental limitations in dense multi-input multioutput configurations due to signal crosstalk between channels. Here, we demonstrate shear-aligned ...
