Seeing better. And better. And better. Until we see nothing at all…
A few years ago, a team of scientists at EPFL's Laboratory of Nanoscale Biology, headed by Aleksandra Radenovic in the School of Engineering, developed an algorithm that can estimate a microscope's resolution in just a few seconds based on a single image. The algorithm's result indicates how closely a microscope is operating to its full…

Killing the child God within us… Modern mental problems…
All children have moments of moodiness, but family medicine doctors and pediatricians may doubt their abilities to tell the difference between normal irritability and possibly bigger issues, according to Penn State researchers. When the researchers interviewed a group of health care providers, they found that the primary care providers and pediatricians were less confident than…

New states of matter. Fake reality. Real silence.
Researchers have recently produced a "human scale" demonstration of a new phase of matter called quadrupole topological insulators (QTI) that was recently predicted using theoretical physics. These were the first experimental findings to validate this theory. The researchers reported their findings in the journal Nature. The team's work with QTIs was born out of the…
