Thrilled to share that our article has just been published in Cell!
This work is the result of six years of dedication and an incredible team effort.

The @linxsinstitute.bsky.social inaugural conference linking 🔗 the importance of phase shift across fields, from coherent X-ray nanoimaging to attosecond physics. 🤓

Big congrats @yuxinzhang.bsky.social @carlesbosch.bsky.social @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social for completing this adventurous journey 🙌🏅! Three replicas of aligned 3D functional (2P) and structural (X-ray nanotomography) data to peer inside olfactory neural circuits 🐭🧀.

My PhD project is out as a preprint!
We combined 2P and synchrotron X-ray to understand mouse olfactory bulb circuits, linking physiology to structure in 3 animals!

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.”
A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

We could also offer a solution to the long-standing ring artifacts problem in #tomography.

Thanks to self-supervised image restoration, we could simultaneously improve spatial resolution and accelerate data acquisition. #AI #microscopy

X-ray nanotomography can be your new friend for neuronal imaging. In our new #preprint (tinyurl.com/nanoXneuro) we present advances that push the spatial resolution limit for X-ray holographic nanotomography (XNH). We can now resolve synapses. 🧵
