Keeping cells happy and healthy Superresolution has been a hot topic within the microscopy community since the 2014 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded. Breaking the diffraction limit is no small task. Despite efforts to simplify and perfect the process, it is well known that superresolution is difficult to perform in practice, and even more so with live samples. This is why it’s important to get the most out of live...

‘Your mind to my mind …’ Ever since the debut of the series Star Trek, people have wanted to create technologies that mimicked or surpassed those that Gene Roddenberry envisioned for the future, but most thought the tricorder, Dr. McCoy’s medical diagnostic tool, would come before the Vulcan mind meld. Rice University is working on the creation of a headset device that aims to connect two brains, akin to Mr....
