Lab-grown muscle stem cells from mice mimic the formation of muscle fibers in vivo. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential to prevent ...

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are a special class of resonant states. Although they have the same momentum and energy as the propagating modes in free space, yet they are not coupled to the ...

Total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) is an advanced spectroscopic method for multi-element detection at trace and ultra-trace levels. By directing a monochromatic X-ray beam at a sample ...

Compared to through-hole construction, inspecting SMD construction is a whole other game. Things you thought were small before are almost invisible now, and making sure solder got where it’s supposed ...

TIRFM is a sophisticated fluorescent microscope that allows a user to visualize a very small region of a specimen. TIRFM utilizes optics to produce light at the interface of the slide. This technique ...

(a) Total internal reflection of two Bloch waves at the interface of the photonic crystal. (b) Guidance condition: as a Bloch wave reflects twice, it duplicates itself. (c) Conventional and ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
