Scientist studying biological tissues with neuronal circuits inside. Tweets my own. Aquí, tuitejo el què em passa pel cap molt de tant en tant.

#paper!
We imaged the same brain tissue sample with lasers, X-rays and electrons to address both its subcellular structure and its physiological function.

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

This work is the product of an outstanding multidisciplinary team operating across multiple countries.

Special congrats to Safe Khan, lead author of the study. And congrats to all authors and supporting institutions!

Here's a spotlight article on our recent study!

Tissue ultrastructure can be resolved with X-rays, which impacts not only how we can study neuronal circuits but soft tissues more generally.

Kudos to Ana Diaz, @AdrianAWanner, @AndreasTSchafer and all authors.

Shoutout to key collaborators at @TheCrick and @psi_eng Ana Diaz, @AdrianAWanner and @AndreasTSchaefer, and to the whole team that made this possible.

[Carles Bosch @Trickymons]

This milestone unfolds the capacity of X-rays for mapping tissue ultrastructure without having to slice, which can have an impact on how we find answers in systems neuroscience and in the study of biological tissues more broadly.
