Quantitative analysis of hidden particles diffusing behind a scattering layer using speckle correlation

Observing objects hidden behind scattering layers is a problem of general interest for biomedical applications, or in aerial, terrestrial and naval transport control and security. In optics, an opaque layer is such that each source point of the object of interest gives rise to a speckle figure, which spreads out over the entire field of view, making the source points non-localizable. We have shown, theoretically and experimentally, that it is possible to measure the diffusion coefficient of micrometric fluorescent beads hidden behind a totally scattering layer.

Plasma FIB-SEM, a new tool for nanoscale studies of bone tissue.

Visualizing bone tissue at the nanoscale could provide new cues to better better understand diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis. It is precisely at that scale that the most fundamental mechanisms take place, which ultimately determine the mechanical properties of bone (elasticity, fragility, toughness) and calcium homeostasis, crucial for numerous physiological processes.

White cells use paddling to move

Leukocytes have a ubiquitous capacity to migrate on or in solid matrices and with or without adhesion, which is instrumental to fight infections. The precise mechanisms sustaining migration remain, however, arguable. It is for instance widely accepted that leukocytes cannot crawl on two-dimensional substrates without adhesion. In contrast, we showed that human lymphocytes swim on nonadherent two-dimensional substrates and in suspension.

A new class of absorption lines in the water vapor spectrum

Electric-quadrupole infrared transitions are detected in water vapor at room temperature. This is the first direct detection of quadrupole transitions in a polyatomic molecule. Using a newly developed, high-accuracy variational approach for theoretical predictions, several weak quadrupole transitions of H2O were identified in a highly sensitive cavity-ring-down spectrum of water vapour near 1.3 µm, in full agreement with the computational predictions.
