Inspired from the #Primer out today on #Photoluminescence microscopy, here's our #Cover image of the month!

How many #optoelectronic materials can you name?

Happy #InternationalDayofLight2025 everyone! 🎉🥳🔬

To celebrate #IDOL2025, we decided to gather all our #Primers on light-based technologies in a Collection. Can you guess why the celebration happens on this day? The Collection's cover gives you a hint😉

Inside of a laser cavity showing a red ruby crystal surrounded by a glass spiral. Some circuitry brings current to the glass spiral which excites the ruby crystal to produce red laser light escaping the cavity.

Neurons signals and their propagation are key for brain functioning.
With this month's #cover — inspired from our latest #Primer on in vivo #MEAs — we're highlighting brainwaves and the development of neural interfaces.

Do you ever look for hidden #patterns in water rings?

Our #cover image for this month is inspired by the interference patterns between waves🌊. This concept is at the base of #iSCAT, the technique from this week's #Primer.
The surface of a body of water is perturbed by circular ripples that cross with each other forming random patterns.

When #science updates the tools of the trade, ancient crafts suddenly become advanced technologies!👨‍🎨👩‍🎨💡

Our cover image for the month is inspired by today's #Primer on #Multiphoton 3D #Lithography.

The table of a sculpture artist with a half-completed sculpture of a bucky ball in its centre. On the table, the old tools of the craft: a hammer and a chisel. The sculpture is instead being made by two laser beams shone on the same point of the structure.

Our cover image for this month, inspired from the recently published Primer on #PhageTherapy: go.nature.com/3XfHpmU
A pattern made of repeated illustrations of a viral agent, appearing in red and yellow, randomly organised. In the centre, the silhouette of a human is outlined by a group of viruses all coloured in blue, symbolising the introduction of viral agents in a human body as a tool for delivering therapies.
