In situ polymer nanoparticle densitometry via real-time 3D single-particle tracking.
Journal article The Journal of chemical physics · July 2026 Single-particle techniques have the potential to measure the heterogeneous dynamics at the nanoscale within reaction mixtures. However, new tools are needed to gain insight into the molecular structure of evolving chemical systems at the single-particle le ...

Journal article Viruses · April 2026 The epithelium represents the first line of defense against viral infection, yet the precise mechanisms by which viruses penetrate this complex barrier remain incompletely understood. Single-virus tracking (SVT) has emerged as a powerful fluorescence micro ...
