Traditional tests, based on sputum-smear microscopy, can take up to three months to yield results, THE WHO said.
Once the Ajayan and Lou teams were able to grow such large MDS arrays the ORNL team imaged the atomic structures using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy.
Our microscopy facility at ORNL allows us to see materials in a way they've never been seen before--down to the level of individual atoms.
The ORNL electron microscopy images make it possible to view these grain boundaries directly. The Rice researchers see many possible ways to combine the materials not only in two-dimensional layers but also as three-dimensional stacks.
The team used atomic-resolution electron microscopy to examine the grain boundaries of this material and saw lines of misaligned atoms.
The electron microscopy was performed by atomic imaging experts in the David Muller lab at Cornell University's School of Applied and Engineering Physics and the Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science.
Now researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) through support from the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) have shed literally new light on cellulase catalysis. Using an ultrahigh-precision visible light microscopy
technique called PALM--for Photo-Activated Localization Microscopy--the researchers have found a way to improve the collective catalytic activity of enzyme cocktails that can boost the yields of sugars for making fuels.
