Base Camp is where visitors go to relax, unwind, and get familiar with an anthology of earlier material.

Under The Microscope: Golden Electronics | Beetle Embryonics

Cambridge University has launched a new video series to mark research into the natural and man-made worlds at the microscopic scale. The series provides incredible and revealing closeups of human and non-human life, from cells to molecules to conductor networks…

The seventh video in the series takes us to the inorganic realm. Stretchable electronics are presented in the form of thin layers of gold embedded in rubber bands. The aim is to create electronic devices that stretch, therefore, bend, fold, and morph in ways that would shatter current devices…

Moving on to video number eight, we come back to the organic. Here we observe the nuclei inside a beetle egg during the formation of a beetle embryo. Early-development data like this shed light on the evolution of animals at large…
