Researchers from the University of Oviedo, the University of Porto and the ALBA Synchrotron have visualized with synchrotron light the motion of vortex-antivortex pairs along strip magnetic domains in magnetic structures, what represents an interesting discovery that could have applications for memory and logic devices.
The first 3D map of the interior of cells affected by the virus. Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología of the CSIC (CNB-CSIC) and the ALBA Synchrotron have observed the alterations caused by the hepatitis C virus at the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria of infected cells. These malformations were reversed by treatment with the most common antiviral drugs for hepatitis C.
The research provides the first insights on the spatial distribution of calcium in coccolithophores, widespread marine algae that may play an important role in the response of the oceanic ecosystem to predicted global climate change.
Energy resolved soft X-rays transmission microscopy studies were performed at MISTRAL beamline to know the morphology and composition of the discharge products in lithium-oxygen batteries.
A group of researchers has visualized and analysed in detail the properties and magnetic defects of materials at the nanoscale. These results, published in Nature Communications, may contribute to a better use and control of magnetic storage devices.
