The procedure covers the preparation of the noble metal nanoparticle solution, the preparation of the noble metal hydrogel by salt-induced gelation and the preparation of the noble metal aerogels via freeze-drying.

Controlled synthesis of noble metal aerogels mediated by salts - Nature Protocols A protocol describing the fabrication of seven single-component noble metal aerogels and over ten multicomponent noble metal aerogels, their characterizations and their electrocatalytic applications.

Noble metal aerogels (NMAs) combine the physicochemical properties of nanostructured metals with the self-standing porous architecture of aerogels. NMAs have potential in #catalysis, #sensing and other applications in fundamental and applied sciences.

Cancer Research UK today published a report which highlights changes in cancer survival rates over the last 50 years.

Many headlines (like this one from the Guardian) have chosen to report the ‘doubling of cancer survival rates’ since the 1970s.

But that's misleading...

Independent SAGE as an example of effective public dialogue on scientific research - Nature Protocols The members of Independent SAGE reflect on their experience in setting up, developing and running a science communication platform and service to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic

In this Perspective, we discuss how the experience from Independent SAGE may help develop science advice groups for future public health emergencies and improve science communication efforts with the public. The article is now free to access!

The cover of the May issue of Nature Protocols shows a 3D rendering of mesopourous nanoparticles

And has a very pretty cover!

Our May issue is live and includes an interesting piece written by @independentsage.bsky.social and published in December, discussing their mission and organization during Covid rdcu.be/d3n6s 🧪 @natprot.nature.com

The reason why @independentsage.bsky.social were able to identify and respond to the Immensa testing scandal was because we were looking at the data and listening to local communities who were experiencing the problem.

We’re excited to share our latest Nature Protocols paper, which presents a detailed protocol for achieving optical transparency in live mice using tartrazine: nature.com/articles/s41...

Achieving transient and reversible optical transparency in live mice with tartrazine Nature Protocols - Nonsurgical, optically transparent windows noninvasively enable the visualization of cerebral hemodynamics, gut structure and motility and sarcomere structures in mice in vivo.

Here is the readcube link:
rdcu.be/elSjQ

The procedure includes the preparation and application of absorbing molecules to create transient optical transparency windows ex vivo and in vivo, enabling the imaging of deep tissue structures and biological processes at macroscopic and microscopic scales.
🧪

Finally out! This article from Guosong Hong's lab should be of interest to those who perform in vivo imaging: make your mice optically transparent!
I have had so many people ask me about this method and now the protocol is available:

An important point: If you share your protocol in a preprint server or in protocols repository like protocols.io you can still publish your protocol in a peer-reviewed journal like Nature Protocols at a later date.

400 years ago, botanist Giovanni Faber, a member of the Lyncean Academy in Rome, wrote to Prince Federico Cesi, the Academy's founder, introducing the term "microscope" to describe an instrument created by Galileo Galilei. We have curated 6 Collections covering advances in microscopy 🧪 🔬

We will aim to keep these collections updated and add new articles we publish on the topic. These collections are intended as resources for researchers looking to expand on the range of experiments they include in their projects.
