A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions.

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Typically, researchers have relied on electron microscopy, which generates exquisitely detailed pictures but requires expensive equipment, to map the brain's circuitry. "Now, you can get images ...

Over the past decades, electronics engineers have developed a wide range of wearable devices that can be used to track some ...

The University of Oxford’s Department of Materials has introduced a custom-built £3 million Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), marking a significant advancement in microscopy. The JEOL ...

The glands that make the watery, salty sweat that dampens our shirts on a hot day are called eccrine glands. Most furry mammals have them only in certain places, mainly the soles of their paws.

Humans have far more sweat glands than chimps and other mammals do. Sweating keeps you cool. As sweat evaporates from your skin, heat energy is carried away from your body. This cooling system was ...

Her work spanned a broad field of human disease research, including Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune disorders of the endocrine system with a specialization in salivary gland dysfunction ...

Earlier this year, scientists discovered a peculiar term appearing in published papers: "vegetative electron microscopy". This phrase, which sounds technical but is ...

Diabetes can affect how the body manages temperature and may cause some people to sweat more or less. This can include night sweats, sweating while eating, or sweating when it’s cool.
