In a new paper published in Light: Science & Applications, a research team led by Professor Inki Kim at the BioNanoPhotonics Laboratory in the Department of Biophysics, Institute of Quantum Biophysics, Sungkyunkwan University, developed a multifocal metalens based on a novel hybrid multiplexing approach to implement ISM and successfully captured super-resolution images of neuronal structures in brain organoids. The proposed hybrid multiplexing method combines two conventional

The new method, inspired by an imaging technique that has been around for 35 years, takes ultraprecise measurements of a molecule’s unique light-emission signature at the scale of a billionth of a second. It uses a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) camera made up of close to a million tiny sensors that can each detect aphoton. The data are analyzed to determine a molecule’s fluorescence lifetime – or the extremely short delay between an excitation laser pulse and the fluor

Now, writing in the journal Nature Communications, a team led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory report how they used ultrafast X-rays from the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), combined with recent theoretical advancements, to reveal those atomic motions on a timescale of femtoseconds, millionths of a billionth of a second. The technique could be used to observe speedy atomic motions in more complex catalysts.
