Australian scientists have discovered an enzyme that converts air into energy. The finding, published today in the journal Nature, reveals that this enzyme uses the low amounts of the hydrogen in the atmosphere to create an electrical current [read more: buff.ly/3mFBYP3

Light field microscopy with near isotropic 120nm resolution reconstructed via an optics aware deep learning strategy. By the lab of Peng Fei .

Buckle in, it is #microtubule cell migration story time! We reveal a new role for microtubules as cellular sensors which detect and respond to compressive forces, enabling movement and ensuring survival in mechanically demanding environments; just like this little guy squeezing

How a book written in 1910 could teach you calculus better than several books of today [Calculus Made Easy, by Silvanus P. Thompson, 1910 - full text pdf: bit.ly/2pThkf1 or with the table of contents: calculusmadeeasy.org]

Excited to share our new paper Science Advances: bit.ly/3m6GG8y Dual-color imaging of two neighbor nucleosomes reveals that nucleosomes in euchromatin form condensed domains with ~150 nm diameter. Nucleosomes locally fluctuate in the condensed domain like a liquid. 1/

Watson and Crick were widely believed to have hit on the structure of DNA after stealing data from Rosalind Franklin – but newly-discovered documents suggest a different account of this discovery: nature.com/articles/d4158…

😍🔬💻We're rolling! Our new baby - #NanoPyx - is now open. Over time #NanoPyx will grow to encapsulate methods we're pioneering for #Microscopy and #SuperResolution. It's set as a (very) high-performance hybrid CPU-GPU library for #Python, napari🔬 and Colaboratory

Mary Lyon FRS was born #OnThisDay in 1925. Lyon was the discoverer of X-chromosome inactivation, sometimes also known as Lyonization, which the genetic process that leads to coloration like calico or tortoiseshell cats. bit.ly/3eMbBjN

Our work on RNA polymerase II depletion from the inactive X chromosome territory is out: nature.com/articles/s4159…  Congratulation to [email protected] and all authors. Great collaboration with Tjian + Darzacq Group lab! Don’t miss it 👇👇🚀

Many #EuroBioImaging Nodes offer open access to #imagedata analysis as a stand-alone service, meaning that image data analysis services can be used when images🔬are acquired elsewhere. Julia Fernandez & Rafael Camacho explain how it works at Centre for Cellular Imaging | Uni. of Gothenburg⤵️ eurobioimaging.eu/news/image-dat…

We discovered a surprisingly easy way to control the brightness of fluorescent proteins via magnetic fields: andrewgyork.github.io/gfp_magnetoflu… This raises fascinating scientific questions about the mechanism, and tantalizing technological opportunities for bioengineering.

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia! A thread 🧵👇

Open-3DSIM – the open-source, high-fidelity solution to all kinds of 3D-SIM systems! 3 types of platforms: ImageJ (for experts), Matlab (for engineers), and Exe (for new users). With polarization SIM, it encompasses 6 dimensions (XYZλθT) super-resolution. doi.org/10.1038/s41592…
