Almost a century ago, a breakthrough in microscopy gave scientists an entirely new way to examine the inside of cells. Known as phase contrast, the technique made previously faint or nearly invisible cellular structures much easier to distinguish. Its importance…
Scientific Computing World The AI-powered autonomous lab Polybot, located at Argonne National Laboratory, is one of five labs across Argonne and UChicago that will run remote experiments from researchers across the nation as part of the Polymer Laboratory for AI,…
A Science Bulletin review finds that super-resolution microscopy is shifting from sharper visualization toward validated measurements of molecular organization and dynamics in living systems. Super-resolution microscopy is moving beyond the production of sharper images toward a more demanding goal: making…
"Airscope provides greater behavioral freedom for neuroscience research and allows large-scale neural observation to follow animals into richer natural behaviors, helping us better study brain cognition and brain diseases," said Zhang Yuanlong, an assistant professor at Tsinghua University's School of…

Science and technology company Danaher Corporation aims to launch an AI-powered autonomous laboratory. “By applying our science, technology and culture of continuous improvement, we can help turn promising ideas into validated systems faster,” said Danaher president and CEO Julie Sawyer…
For more than 30 years, Course 7 (Biology) students have descended to the expansive, windowless basement of Building 68 to learn practical skills that are the centerpiece of undergraduate biology education at the Institute. The lines of benches and cabinets of supplies that…
The field of molecular biology began when scientists attempted to answer a simple question: what molecule makes up the genetic material of an organism? In 1944, three scientists, named Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty, showed that when you destroy…
