It is difficult to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, because no methods are available to identify preclinical biomarkers. The importance of protein misfolding into oligomeric and fibrillar aggregates in the onset and evolution of NDDs highlights the demand for structural biomarker-based diagnostics. Researchers created an immunoassay-coupled nanoplasmonic infrared metasurface [..]

Researchers in optics have improved their revolutionary metasurface masking technology to make higher features without widening the space between them, a development that opens up interesting new design opportunities.

A brand-new quantum photonics technique has been created by researchers to produce three-dimensional images using lasers, much as in Star Trek and Star Wars. Their goal was to capture and reconstruct incredibly weak light beams of just a single photon of light. This quantum photonics technology has the potential to transform 3D scene reconstruction and [..]

Senescence, which affects stem cells, essential for therapeutic usage, occurs in our bodies as we age. But when they reach the senescent stage, they cease making vital biomolecules. Researchers should stop older cells from entering the culture to stop senescence. Biomolecules needed for treatments are produced by mesenchymal stem cells derived from fat tissue. Researchers [..]

A photonic chip developed by researchers turns a single incoming laser beam into various new beams with various optical characteristics. At various points along the chip, the freshly created beams, which have the same frequency as the original beam, simultaneously leave the circuit. It enables engineers and scientists to choose the precise properties of one [..]

When you think of gazing under a microscope, you usually image an amoeba, a human cell, or possibly a little bug on a glass slide. A new form of microscopy technique has been created, making examining the fundamental molecules that make up live creatures simpler. However, microscopes can see much more than these tiny living [..]

Better, quicker, and less expensive MRIs with broader biological uses may be made possible by hyperpolarization. There are restrictions on the magnetic resonance (MR) signals utilized in medical imaging. The signal in magnetic resonance applications used in biomedicine is so faint that many images must be taken and averaged, according to the researcher. The length [..]

Researchers have devised a simple method for reliably producing nanomaterials that resemble Swiss cheese. The approach needed to generate this porous material might aid in creating more sophisticated materials with applications in photocatalysis and optoelectronics. Low-density solids containing much space within their main body are known as porous materials. The vast surface area these gaps [..]

Researchers have shown that chip-based biosensor devices that identify or evaluate chemicals have significantly improved.

Researchers gave an optofluidic chip-based [..]

By merging terahertz (THz) spectroscopy with real-time monitoring, scientists are putting forth a ground-breaking strategy to speed up the discovery of new materials. Electromagnetic waves, known as terahertz waves, can expose the mysteries of matter. They are capable of capturing quick changes in materials that are hidden from other radiation kinds. Scientists can now utilize [..]

The gold-standard technique for determining the quantity of replication-competent lytic virions, the plaque assay, necessitates staining and typically takes longer than 48 hours to complete. Researchers have demonstrated how deep learning and lens-free holographic imaging may be used to speed up and automate the test. The small imaging device measures the amount of infected tissue [..]

According to studies, blood biomarkers can enhance risk prediction for twelve illnesses over utilizing genetics alone. The study shows that ‘metabolomic’ risk scores created from these blood markers are often better disease risk indicators than genetic data alone. The study used over 200 biomarkers gathered from around half a million people across three large-scale biobanks. [..]

The “breathing,” or mechanical vibration that occurs between two layers of atoms, has been harnessed by a research team to create a new quantum technology building block. The research team found that by examining the type of light that those atoms released when triggered by a laser, they could identify atomic breathing or the mechanical [..]

With the powerful imaging technology of in-vivo corneal confocal microscopy, researchers and doctors may now view the microstructures at the ocular surfaces in great detail. The cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that makes up the front of the eye, is particularly densely innervated with sensory nerves. A method that can image corneal microstructures at various [..]

In addition to a large global network of communication cables, the ocean’s depths are home to a rich ecosystem of marine animals. These vital wires are susceptible to damage from earthquakes and tsunamis. Scientists that track this seismic activity encounter a hurdle since the Earth’s surface is more than 70% water. However, the wires present [..]
