Super-Resolving Particle Diffusion Heterogeneity in Porous Hydrogels via High-Speed 3D Active-Feedback Single-Particle Tracking Microscopy.
Journal Article Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany) · October 2025 Nanoparticle diffusion in 3D porous structures is critical to understanding natural and synthetic systems but remains underexplored due to limitations in traditional microscopy methods. Here, 3D Single-Molecule Active-feedback Real-time Tracking (3D-SMART) ... Full text CiteHour-Long, Kilohertz Sampling Rate Three-Dimensional Single-Virus Tracking in Live Cells Enabled by StayGold Fluorescent Protein Fusions.
Journal Article The journal of physical chemistry. B · June 2024 A viral infection process covers a large range of spatiotemporal scales. Tracking the viral infection process with fluorescent labels over long durations while maintaining a fast sampling rate requires bright and highly photostable labels. StayGold is a re ...

Journal Article The journal of physical chemistry. A · August 2023 Real-time three-dimensional single-particle tracking (RT-3D-SPT) allows continuous detection of individual freely diffusing objects with high spatiotemporal precision by applying closed-loop active feedback in an optical microscope. However, the current tr ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
