A new study aims to derive an analytical model of optical activity in black phosphorous under an external magnetic field. Optical activity in chiral molecules has become a hot topic in physics and ...

One of the central problems in neuroscience is understanding how behaviour emerges from the cooperative activities of large number of neurons. The workings of neuronal circuits provide a link between ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...

Basic polarimeters are comprised of a light source, two polarizing filters, an eyepiece for direct observation of optical rotation and a sample tube containing a solvent of interest. This phenomenon ...

Researchers have developed ultrasensitive nanoscale optical probes to monitor the bioelectric activity of neurons and other excitable cells. This novel readout technology could enable scientists to ...

Seismic array: researchers used the first 20 km (pink) of an undersea cable that stretches from Moss Landing to the Monterey Accelerated Research System (MARS). Also shown is the earthquake epicentre ...
