Editorial
Fiber running through STED Thanks to stimulation emission depletion (STED) microscopy, scientists can capture subcellular dynamics, such as the plasticity of dendritic spines that are responsible for transferring electrical signals. These specialized structures on neurons are thought to be the sites where memory consolidation occurs through synaptic activity. Due to the complexity of a STED microscope, this equipment is...

Targeting Chronic Disease at the Point of Care Of all chronic diseases, cardiovascular diseases are now the leading cause of death worldwide, with cancer, pulmonary diseases, and diabetes close behind. It will be important for a range of stakeholders engaged in the use of optical point-of-care (POC) devices to help ameliorate this situation. Chronic diseases are particularly devastating in underserved communities in the U.S. According to...

Moths light up the sky in laser show What is the difference between tracking World War II-era German fighter planes and moths in the present day? Based on the laser-based measurement technology at use, it turns out, a great deal. Besides an arguably similar shape and the fact that they both fly, it takes a Grand Canyon-size leap for there to be any other logical connection. But, there is at least one other similarity between the two...
