Is radiation damage the limiting factor in high-resolution single particle imaging with X-ray free-electron lasers? [PDF]
The prospect of single particle imaging with atomic resolution is one of the scientific drivers for the development of X-ray free-electron lasers. The assumption since the beginning has been that damage to the sample caused by intense X-ray pulses is one

Single-particle imaging of nanomedicine entering the brain. [PDF]
Nanomedicine has emerged as a revolutionary strategy of drug delivery. However, fundamentals of the nano–neuro interaction are elusive. In particular, whether nanocarriers can cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and release the drug cargo inside the brain, a basic process depicted in numerous books and reviews, remains controversial.

Single Particle X-ray Diffractive Imaging [PDF]
In nanotechnology, strategies for the creation and manipulation of nanoparticles in the gas phase are critically important for surface modification and substrate-free characterization. Recent coherent diffractive imaging with intense femtosecond X-ray pulses has verified the capability of single-shot imaging of nanoscale objects at suboptical ...

MRI detection of single particles for cellular imaging [PDF]
There is rapid growth in the use of MRI for molecular and cellular imaging. Much of this work relies on the high relaxivity of nanometer-sized, ultrasmall dextran-coated iron oxide particles. Typically, millions of dextran-coated ultrasmall iron oxide particles must be loaded into cells for efficient detection.

Prospects for single-particle imaging at XFELs [PDF]
X-ray free-electron lasers will produce pulses of X-rays that are 10 orders of magnitude brighter than today's undulator sources at synchrotrons. This may enable atomic resolution imaging of single macromolecules.
