Stem cells involved in replenishing human tissues and blood depend on an enzyme known as telomerase to continue working throughout our lives. When telomerase malfunctions, it can lead to both cancer ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a type of noninvasive imaging test. Ophthalmologists use OCT to create high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the inside of a person’s eye. OCT can help an ...

Superconducting circuits, cold atoms and optical photons form the basis of much of modern quantum science and many quantum technologies 9, having driven significant progress in quantum information and ...

You have many options for getting eye care today, both in person and online. You’re probably already familiar with Costco for bulk shopping, but you may not know they also offer comprehensive eye care ...

Macquarie University researchers have developed an improved laser system that will help large optical telescopes to gather more accurate data. Large-diameter ground-based optical telescopes now ...

Single-molecule methods were born out of the desire to follow the dynamics of molecular processes in real time and the impossibility of synchronizing the behaviour of molecules in an ensemble. Most ...

Communication between cells in living systems is a complex process, but known to involve small structures termed vesicles that transport material within and outside the cell. Nanoscale extracellular ...

Very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a technique in radio astronomy whereby multiple radio telescopes cooperate to bundle their received data and in effect create a much larger singular radio ...

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have shown how using fiber optic cables, a pervasive, if unseen, fixture in today’s society, could help better predict when an earthquake might ...
