Measuring certain quantities at the nanoscale is often limited to strict conditions such as low
temperature or vacuum. However, the recently developed nanodiamond (ND) quantum …

Optical imaging represents one of the most essential tools in biological studies. Although
with great advances, bio-optical imaging still suffers from problems such as resolution …

The cellular processes underpinning life are orchestrated by proteins and their interactions.
The associated structural and dynamic heterogeneity, despite being key to function, poses a …

The long-dreamed-of capability of monitoring the molecular machinery in living systems has
not been realized yet, mainly due to the technical limitations of current sensing technologies …

A key goal of chemistry is to develop synthetic systems that mimic biology, such as self-
assembling, self-replicating models of minimal life forms. Oscillations are often observed in …

Our ability to detect, image, and quantify nanoscopic objects and molecules with visible light
has undergone dramatic improvements over the past few decades. While fluorescence has …

Optical microscopy has for centuries been a key tool to study living cells with minimum
invasiveness. The advent of single molecule techniques over the past two decades has …

Fluorescence microscopy has been the workhorse for investigating optical phenomena at
the nanometer scale but this approach confronts several fundamental limits. As a result …

Uncovering the mechanisms of virus infection and assembly is crucial for preventing the
spread of viruses and treating viral disease. The technique of single-virus tracking (SVT) …

Quantum metrology provides a route to overcome practical limits in sensing devices. It holds
particular relevance to biology, where sensitivity and resolution constraints restrict …
