Packing tiny solar cells together, like micro-lenses in the compound eye of an insect, could pave the way to a new generation of advanced photovoltaics, say Stanford University scientists.

The plasticity of embryonic stem cells is widely understood; however, adult stem cells have traditionally been considered less capable of this same characteristic. To confirm whether this assumption is valid, and ultimately to identify any adult stem cells that can be induced into distinct types of cells, researchers have turned to confocal microscopy.
