Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Structural alignment in fibrous tissues like myocardium and tendons is a key biomarker of physiological integrity and ...

Relaxor–ferroelectric materials are high-performance ultrasound generation elements exhibiting large dielectric responses owing to their complex structures. Recently, researchers from Japan made use ...

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

PFM is based on the converse piezoelectric effect, where an applied electric field induces mechanical strain in piezoelectric materials. In PFM, an AC voltage is applied between a conductive atomic ...

Second harmonic generation microscopy (SHG) is generally acknowledged as a powerful tool for the label-free three-dimensional visualization of tissues and advanced materials, with one of its most ...
