Imaging is the visual representation of a subject. Imaging methods may provide a two-dimensional depiction of a surface or a three-dimensional reconstruction, they may use special probes or modalities to track specific molecular features, and they may use invasive or non-invasive means to visualize the internal components of a subject.
Cardiovascular disease claims more lives each year than do the two next-deadliest diseases combined. An ultrasound technique that tracks tiny gas-filled bubbles could pave the way towards improved early detection.
NCOMMS-23-44446C Vivid structural colours in butterflies are caused by photonic nanostructures scattering light, however insight into the development of such structures in vivo remains scarce. Here the authors show that actin plays a vital and direct templating role during structural colour formation in butterfly scales, providing ridge patterning mechanisms that are likely universal across lepidoptera.
Here, the authors introduce Photoacoustic Tomography with Temporal Encoding Reconstruction (PATTERN) - a high-speed, non-destructive photoacoustic brain imaging technique that constructs 3D fluorescent maps of the brain and improves upon some of the limitations associated with traditional whole-brain optical imaging techniques.
FLAPs have recently emerged as RNA counterparts to fluorescent proteins. Here, the authors determine the crystal structure of a FLAP called RhoBAST in complex with its ligand TMR-DN and reveal the mechanisms for binding and activation.
The authors introduce ZS-DeconvNet, an unsupervised computational super-resolution method for multiple types of microscopes, that enhances image resolution by more than 1.5 times over the diffraction limit with 10 times lower fluorescence than regular superresolution imaging conditions.
The US$665-million High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) outside Beijing puts China among only a handful of countries that have fourth-generation synchrotron light sources.

Nature’s annual photography competition attracted stunning images from around the world, including two very different shots featuring the Polarstern research vessel.
