Super-resolution imaging reveals details inside living cells

Research

A new fluorescence microscopy technique that generates super-resolution images from a single camera exposure could help researchers study rapid movements within cells that are difficult to capture with existing methods.

Nano-insights into bone stability

Research

Fractures of the femoral neck are not simply due to insufficient bone density. Also significant is their nanostructure – the orientation of the collagen fibers that make up bones. This is suggested by research led by EPFL professor and Paul Scherrer Institute group leader Marianne Liebi using a new X-ray technique.
