Nanoscale diffractive probing of strain dynamics in ultrafast transmission electron microscopy [PDF]
The control of optically driven high-frequency strain waves in nanostructured systems is an essential ingredient for the further development of nanophononics. However, broadly applicable experimental means to quantitatively map such structural distortion

Surface Acoustic Waves in Thin Films Nanometrology [PDF]
Thin films nanometrology is an emerging field in nanoscience as the synthesis, processing and applications of nanostructured thin films require an in-depth knowledge of their elastic constants. The elastic energy of a surface acoustic wave propagating in

Background-deflection Brillouin microscopy reveals altered biomechanics of intracellular stress granules by ALS protein FUS [PDF]
Altered cellular biomechanics have been implicated as key photogenic triggers in age-related diseases. An aberrant liquid-to-solid phase transition, observed in in vitro reconstituted droplets of FUS protein, has been recently proposed as a possible ...

Acoustic properties of dialysed kidney by scanning acoustic microscopy [PDF]
A correlation between acquired renal cysts in the dialysed kidney and renal cancer has long been debated, but no changes in the physical properties of kidneys at the microscopic level have been reported. The purpose of the present study was to classify the physical properties of the kidneys of patients undergoing haemodialysis at several stages of ...

Fast label-free multilayered histology-like imaging of human breast cancer by photoacoustic microscopy [PDF]
The goal of breast-conserving surgery is to completely remove all of the cancer. Currently, no intraoperative tools can microscopically analyze the entire lumpectomy specimen, which results in 20 to 60% of patients undergoing second surgeries to achieve ...
