Abstract: Despite advances in ultrathin cutting, serial sections in electron microscopy (EM) still exhibit noticeable anisotropy, with much lower z-axis resolution compared with the other two axes. As ...

In a study published in Nature Methods on December 2, a research team led by Profs. Xu Tao and Ji Wei from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a ...

Abstract: Parallel mechanisms have been employed as architectures of high-precision vibration isolation systems. However, their performances in all degrees of freedom (DOFs) are nonidentical. The ...

In Caracas stands an architectural marvel turned house of horrors, we’re talking about the Venezuelan Helicoid. Originally conceived as a symbol of modernity and progress, this spiral-shaped structure ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science and Seoul National University have found that the visible luminescence from chiral gold nanoparticles, when exposed to near-infrared femtosecond ...

BOGOTÁ, Colombia — After being tortured and brutalized during 129 days at El Helicoide, Venezuela's most notorious jail for dissidents, human rights activist Víctor Navarro was determined to expose ...

In cubic helimagnets MnSi and Cu2OSeO3with their nearly isotropic magnetic properties, the magnetic structure undergoes helical deformation, which is almost completely determined by the helicoid ...

We present a theory for pitch, a matrix property that is linked to the coupling of rotational and translational motion of rigid bodies at low Reynolds numbers. The pitch matrix is a geometric property ...
