A complex biochemical system in a droplet
21 February, 2014In an effort to investigate the reactions taking place in a biological cell, scientists tried to replicate them in an artificial cell. Such experiments have so far worked with very simple reactions, but the team managed to establish a complex biochemical reaction in tiny droplets only a few micrometres in size.
Atomic structures and rotating anode sources
20 February, 2014 by Lauren DavisA new facility at the University of Melbourne's School of Physics has become home to a rotating anode source. The machine was installed by a team led by Professor Christopher Chantler, who noted that outside synchrotrons (of which there is only one in Australia), rotating anodes are one of the most powerful laboratory sources of X-rays.
Rigaku nano3DX X-ray microscope
18 February, 2014 | Supplied by: AXT Pty LtdThe nano3DX, from Rigaku, is a true X-ray microscope (XRM) with the ability to measure relatively large samples at high resolution. The product images the entire sample from multiple angles and can thus reconstruct a 3D image at 0.27 µm resolution.

Laser to detect low levels of gases
04 February, 2014Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a laser with 25 times more light emission than other lasers operating at a similar wavelength.
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.
Removing distortion from atomic-scale images
31 January, 2014Microscopy researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a technique that eliminates the distortion encountered when capturing images at the atomic scale. Their method will be reported in the March issue of Ultramicroscopy.
