A scientist’s dream of 3-D projections like those he saw years ago in a Star Wars movie has led to new technology for making animated 3-D table-top objects by structuring light. The new technology uses photoswitch molecules to bring to life 3-D light structures that are viewable from 360 degrees, says chemist Alexander Lippert, Southern […]
Moving 3D computer model of key human protein is powerful new tool in fight against cancer
A picture is worth 1,000 words when it comes to understanding how things work, but 3D moving pictures are even better. That’s especially true for scientists trying to stop cancer by better understanding the proteins that make some chemotherapies unsuccessful. Researchers for decades have had to rely at best on static images of the key […]
