Biomedical engineering students Brandon Buscaglia and Marcus D’Aguiar are helping physicians see the invisible. The undergraduates developed a motorized stage and tracking prototype that works in ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

Researchers from the laboratory of Aaron W. James, associate professor of pathology, recently approached Scot Kuo with a seemingly intractable problem. The team was investigating how broken bones heal ...

Our brain contains tens of billions of nerve cells (neurons) which constantly communicate with each other by sending chemical and electrical flashes, each lasting a short one millisecond (0.001 sec).

DURHAM, N.C. -- Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal settings needed to complete a given ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona have invented a device that for the first time allows neurosurgeons, who use microscopes extensively while operating, to see blood flowing inside vessels and ...

The humble glass microscope slide may be primed for a makeover. A study published online May 2 in the journal Nature Communications describes how an updated version of this centuries-old tool can now ...

The National Science Foundation has awarded more than $250,000 in grant money to Northern Illinois University in DeKalb for acquisition of a cutting-edge high-resolution[microscope that will bolster ...

For University of Delaware graduate student Mikayla Jackson, engineering offers a way to connect people with new possibilities. In the lab, she applies her biomedical engineering expertise to improve ...
