Spontaneous and indefinite blinking in upconverting nanoparticles for ångström-precision multicolour super-resolution imaging
Spontaneously blinking UCNPs enable single-source multicolor #superresolution imaging with 0.62 Å localization precision.

The 2026 Breakthrough Prize ceremony (“the Oscars for science”) celebrated the achievements of many remarkable scientists and their students and collaborators last weekend. Here’s the video of the show: youtu.be/_CZHeEyZBU0?si=blLQ…. And here’s the segment in which Anne Hathaway and Alex Honnold (who climbed El Capitan free solo) presented the story of baby K.J.’s base editing treatment and introduced Kiran Musunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, Peter Marks, baby K.J. and his wonderful family, and myself: youtu.be/_CZHeEyZBU0?si=blLQ…

Thank you, Boston, for the honor of a lifetime. Time to step into our city’s promise together—every neighborhood, every block, every resident.
I am blessed to be your Mayor. Let’s do this!

I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who passed away on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives on in all who use the myriad of technologies he developed, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday
