New Powerful Microscopy Shows Antimicrobial Proteins Killing Bacteria (Medical News Today)
US researchers have developed a new powerful microscopy technique and used it to show proteins killing bacteria in real time, thus revealing the deadly workings of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), naturally occurring proteins that scientists are pursuing as a new approach to treating bacterial infections… (read the story…) Related items FEATURE : Inventor weighs China challenge (Taipei Times) The... »
Newfangled nanoscale scanning technique could improve heart health (Engadget)
Oh, nanotechnology — your wonders never cease. Boffins at Imperial College London have been able to use live nanoscale microscopy (a technique called scanning ion conductance microscopy) in order to see the surface of the cardiac muscle cell at more detailed levels than those possible using conventional live microscopy. Without getting too gross on... »
Nanoparticles go platinum: NCEM instruments provide key images (PhysOrg)
At Berkeley Lab’s National Center for Electron Microscopy it was revealed that single-stranded DNA can disperse bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes into individual tubes and serve as guideposts for synthesizing platinum nanoparticles onto these tubes.

Engineers Image Nanostructure Of A Solid Acid Catalyst And Boost Its Catalytic Activity (redOrbit)
A new view of an old problemThe Lehigh-Rice team attributes much of its success to the use, for the first time on tungstated zirconia catalysts, of aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and its integration with three optical spectroscopic techniques—Raman, infrared and ultraviolet-visible. Only by combining the microscopy and spectroscopy studies, says Wachs, was... »
