By integrating multiple sensory inputs, a loop of mutual inhibition among a small set of neurons allows worms to switch between long-lasting behavioral states.

Researchers glean a more complete picture of a complex structure called the nuclear pore complex by studying it directly inside cells.

MIT researchers train a neural network to predict a “boiling crisis,” with potential applications for cooling computer chips and nuclear reactors.

Researchers could rapidly obtain high-resolution images of blood vessels and neurons within the brain.

FIB-SEM is now available to researchers across the Institute for use in characterization, nanofabrication, and rapid prototyping.

Cutting-edge microscope helps reveal ways to control the electronic properties of atomically thin materials.

Scientists distinguish brain regions based on what they do, but now have a new way to overlay information about how they are built.

To oversee its new cutting-edge electron microscopy systems, MIT sought out Frances Ross’ industry-honed expertise.

To spy on worms for days on end, Picower Institute scientists invent a new open-source microscopy platform.

Chemical process called ELAST allows labeling probes to infuse more quickly, and makes samples tough enough for repeated handling.
