Advanced Brain Imaging Using Three-Photon Microscopy

Scientists may be a step closer to cracking one of the world's most compelling mysteries: the impossible complexity of the brain and its billions of neurons. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a new way of taking high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the brain's inner workings through a three-fold improvement in the depth limits of multiphoton microscopy, a fluorescence-based imaging technique with Cornell roots.

Astronomer Reveals Data from Hubble's Hidden Treasures

Nearly 200 000 light-years from Earth, the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, floats in space, in a long and slow dance around our galaxy. Vast clouds of gas within it slowly collapse to form new stars. In turn, these light up the gas clouds in a riot of colours, visible in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

Researchers to Develop New Type of Particle Accelerator Using Laser Wakefield Acceleration

Professors Jean-Claude Kieffer, François Légaré, and Patrizio Antici of the INRS Energy Materials Telecommunications Research Centre will play a leading role in developing a new type of particle accelerator using laser wakefield acceleration. More affordable and effective than existing types, the accelerator will be able to produce a new generation of compact light sources for life science and medical applications.

Cassini Radar Reveals Two Craters on Titan

Titan's siblings must be jealous. While most of Saturn's moons display their ancient faces pockmarked by thousands of craters, Titan – Saturn's largest moon – may look much younger than it really is because its craters are getting erased. Dunes of exotic, hydrocarbon sand are slowly but steadily filling in its craters, according to new research using observations from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
