A series of in vivo images, captured at different moments in time and at different depths, of the internal parts of moving Drosophila larvae using a new form of fast light-sheet microscopy.
Elegant experiments performed with X-rays and a double slit formed from molecular oxygen have finally made it possible to realize and test a long-standing and famous gedanken experiment in quantum mechanics.
The development of a group IV semiconductor laser that is CMOS-compatible represents a step towards the creation of fully integrated electronic and photonic circuitry.
A fast scanning light-sheet microscope that produces multicolour, dynamic images of living tissue could provide fresh insights into the brain's neural circuits.
Lasing is experimentally demonstrated in a direct bandgap GeSn alloy, grown directly onto Si(001). The authors observe a clear lasing threshold as well as linewidth narrowing at low temperatures.
A table-top source based on high-harmonic generation produces bright, coherent, quasi-circular pulses of extreme ultraviolet light for probing chiral molecules.
The authors observe electron interference using the Auger electron emitted from an O2 molecule ionized by a soft X-ray photon. The interference disappears when the location of the O+ can be determined from the final state observed.
A low-loss ZBLAN micro-structured fibre is used to generate a supercontinuum spanning from the UV to the mid-IR (200 nm–2,500 nm). The material has high resistance even after extended operation and can withstand large spectral power densities.
