Accurate measurements of light intensity provide vital data for scientists and everyday applications. For example, precise values help optimize microscopy signals, trigger physiological processes in ...

Conventional microscopes provide essential information about samples in two dimensions—the plane of the microscope slide. But flat is not all that. In many instances, information about the object in ...

Researchers have shown how spectroscopic measurements can be made much faster. By correlating polarization to the color of a pulsed laser, the team can track changes in the spectrum of the light by ...

Differences across blood pressure (BP) measurement methods show clinically important variance in readings, according to a review published online in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Jiunn-Tyng Yeh, ...

At the University of Oxford, Justin Benesch studies assemblies made between proteins called molecular chaperones and the proteins they protect in cells. These assemblies slow the formation of amyloid ...

Scientists around the world have been searching food, water and other environmental media for microplastics and for per- and ...

When folks speak about fuel economy, quoting IFTA, pen-to-paper, dash readouts and daily vs. 30-day, do we really understand what the data is reporting? These are all different, and rarely will they ...

Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators have shown how spectroscopic measurements can be made much faster. By correlating polarization to the colour of a pulsed laser, the team can ...
