IBEC participates in the 6th Recerca en Directe exhibition
The aim of Recerca en Directe is to show to scholar institutions, high schools and people in general research activities carried out at the research centres in Barcelona, in order to approach to the public how research is done directly from researchers themselves. The exhibition will be open from April 10th to 11th at the Espacio Movistar tent of the Diagonal Campus, c/ Pascual i Vila s/n – Barcelona.
New Light Technique Developed to Observe Real-Time Cellular Activity on a Nanometric Scale
In any biological process, multiple interactions occurring at the molecular level make it impossible to observe live cells in real time, because light microscopes cannot focus light at scales of less than 350 nanometres.
New breakthroughs in nanophotonics, however, will shortly enable us to visualise molecular processes at an optical resolution of ten nanometres, according to researcher María García-Parajo, head of the Bionanophotonics Laboratory at IBEC.
