Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

A team of researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, akin to having X-ray vision. Their new technique -- which they aptly named 'Crystal Clear' -- ...

Researchers have studied the kinetic and thermodynamic processes of sugar crystallization in the making of fondant. They combine a controlled kneading machine with light microscopy to precisely ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

High temperature microscopy is the use of microscopy techniques on samples at high temperatures. Often, this means the microscopy instrumentation needs to be specifically designed to cope with the ...

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. A team of New York University researchers has created a new ...
