New open source software for high resolution microscopy: Bielefeld physicists report their new development in Nature Communications
The images show a liver cell before and after processing the data with the software developed at Bielefeld University.
Newly discovered organic nanowires leave manmade technologies in their dust
The discovery, featured in the current issue of Scientific Reports, describes the high-speed protein fiber produced by uranium-reducing Geobacter bacteria. The fibers are hair-like protein filaments called "pili" that have the unique property of...
Entanglement becomes easier to measure: New protocol to detect entanglement of many-particle quantum states
Quantum systems consisting of many particles can enter highly intricate states with strong so-called multiparticle entanglement. A new-...
