A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

Osaka, Japan - Researchers from the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research at Osaka University have devised a new method to determine the degree of fibrillation in wood pulp. By taking ...

All fibers were analyzed directly without additional modification or sampling accessories. The O-PTIR spectra resemble transmission-like IR spectra in non-contact (far-field) mode. Through spatially ...

Devices and objects produced from fibers are being increasingly used in everyday life. Fibers are generally imaged in a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which provides elemental analysis, ...

(Nanowerk News) In this groundbreaking research, the scientists delved into the world of incredibly tiny fibers known as cellulose nanofibers (CNF) to see how they could make materials stronger. They ...
