New Technique Takes Cues from Astronomy and Ophthalmology to Sharpen Microscope Images

Posted: 13 Apr 2014 11:22 AM PDT

The complexity of biology can befuddle even the most sophisticated light microscopes. Biological samples bend light in unpredictable ways, returning difficult-to-interpret information to the microscope and distorting the resulting image. New imaging technology developed at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus rapidly corrects for these distortions and sharpens high-resolution images over large volumes of tissue.

Azobenzene-on-carbon nanotube method to increase energy storage capacity of solar thermal fuels

Posted: 13 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT

A new study using a photosensitive molecule, azobenzene and carbon nanotubes demonstrates the feasibility of developing solar thermal fuels with significantly increased energy storage capacity. There is a global race to find the most cost efficient, green energy alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar energy is an attractive pollution-free option.  However as the intensity of sunlight is affected by factors such as time of the day and weather, there is a need to develop efficient energy storage devices for uninterrupted energy supply.
