Researchers from the University of Vermont, Boston University, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have demonstrated a new experimental capability for watching thin film growth in real-time. The researchers were able to produce a "movie" of thin film growth that depicts the process more accurately than traditional techniques can.

In a major collaborative effort, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University and the University of Nebraska Medical Center have for the first time eliminated replication-competent HIV-1 DNA – the virus responsible for AIDS – from the genomes of living animals. The study marks a critical step toward the development of a possible cure for human HIV infection.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have pioneered cutting-edge methods to study the formation of calcium carbonate in saline water. Their results suggest that we may have been overestimating how fast calcium carbonate forms in saline environments.

Researchers have presented an update to their original nanoscale device for intracellular recording, the first nanotechnology developed to record electrical chatter inside a living cell. The scientists have used many copies of the updated nanoscale device to record intracellular signals in neural and cardiac cells in culture with the same level of precision as the device’s biggest competitor: patch clamp electrodes.

A multidisciplinary team at Northwestern University and the University of Tennessee have developed a new technique, called variable temperature liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy, that allows researchers to examine nanoscale tubular materials while they are "alive" and forming liquids -- a first in the field.
