A combination of microscopy, tissue preparation, and data innovations could yield first-of-their-kind brain atlases that specify the locations and types of all of the brain’s…
MediSCAPE, a high-speed 3D microscope designed by Columbia Engineers, can see real-time cellular detail in living tissues to guide surgery, speed up tissue analyses, and…
Remnants of the Larsen-B ice shelf, filled in with seasonal ice in January 2016. Until January 2022, sea ice helped to buttress the nearby glaciers,…
The hybrid algorithm uses a classic and quantum computer to calculate ground state energy. This will help researchers develop new materials for different applications, including…
Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels today are higher than at any point in the past 800,000 years or more. During a year when terms like carbon…
