"Scientists Capture Speed of Light with Mind-Blowing Camera Technology"

Scientists at MIT have developed a camera that can capture the movement of light in slow motion by using a specially adapted sensor and a rotating mirror. The camera, consisting of an array of 500 sensors, can capture one trillion frames per second, allowing researchers to track the path of light as it moves through a scene. This technology has potential applications in medical imaging, industrial analysis, and even consumer photography.

"Visualizing Protein Collapse: Unveiling the Critical Moments in Alzheimer's and Other Diseases"

Researchers have developed a new imaging technique to capture the moment when proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and ALS begin to aggregate. By closely monitoring the transition of proteins from their liquid to solid phase, the team observed the formation of dense protein condensates that eventually solidified into clumps. This breakthrough provides insights into the physical process underlying neurodegenerative diseases and could lead to a better understanding of protein interactions.

Observing Ultracold Electron Bunches in Subpicosecond Timeframes.

Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology have demonstrated the scattering of subpicosecond electron bunches from an ultracold electron source. The source was created by photoionizing laser-cooled rubidium gas in a grating magneto-optical trap via a two-step process. The recent work highlights the value of the compact ultracold source they realized for producing ultrafast electron bunches. The findings gathered by this team of researchers could pave the way for the development of highly performing imaging techniques that could advance research in numerous fields.
