Light observed as both a particle and a wave
04 March, 2015Since the days of Albert Einstein, scientists have recognised that light can behave simultaneously as a particle or a wave. But there has never been an experiment able to capture both natures of light at the same time - until now.

The best laid plans of mice in men
14 March, 2014Scientists from the UK and Australia have created a mouse strain that expresses a fluorescing biosensor in every cell of its body, allowing diseased cells and drugs to be tracked and evaluated in real time.
New 3D imaging technology keeps long samples intact
03 February, 2014Researchers at the Universidad Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and its spin-off company, 4D-Nature, have developed a technique called helical optical projection tomography (hOPT), which improves biomedical diagnostic 3D imaging.
Chemical imaging for cancerous tissue
15 January, 2014Scientists have outlined a new method for analysing biological samples, such as searching for cancer, based on their chemical make-up. The process would transform medical examinations, with tests currently involving interpretation by a histology specialist and a waiting period of weeks to obtain a full result.
