How to image a #wavefunction?
Fundamental particles, such as electrons, cannot be pinned down to one single location. Instead, a particle is described by its “wavefunction” – but imaging the wavefunction is a major challenge. Researchers @ our Uni managed to image the 3D wavefunction of a nanometer-sized organic molecule by combining state-of-the-art photoelectron spectroscopy with powerful mathematical algorithms: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8252

Intestinal tissue replicated in a lab setting: Researchers from #CharitéBerlin & @MDC_Berlin have succeeded in reconstructing the intestinal glands (“crypts”) responsible for absorbing nutrients as a 3D cell culture. 🧫
The research team explains in #NatureCommunications how they produced the artificial crypts and what they learned about these structures’ impressive cellular self-organization abilities:
