Synergy between biology and physics drives cell-imaging technology

Developing techniques to image the complex biological systems found at the sub-cellular level has traditionally been hampered by divisions between the academic fields of biology and physics. However, a new interdisciplinary zeal has seen a number of exciting advances in super-resolution imaging technologies.

Research measures movement of nanomaterials in simple model food chain

New research shows that while engineered nanomaterials can be transferred up the lowest levels of the food chain from single celled organisms to higher multicelled ones, the amount transferred was relatively low and there was no evidence of the nanomaterials concentrating in the higher level organisms.

Brown to host conference on advances in neurotechnology

'Neurotechnology isn't science fiction - it's here today,"'says John Donoghue, professor of neuroscience and engineering and director of the Brown Institute for Brain Science. 'Devices that connect to the nervous system are already helping those with paralysis to move again, those with blindness to see and those with deafness to hear.'
