Nature Electronics Illustration

This illustration was developed as an abstract representation of mixed precision in-memory computing. In developing a hybrid machine which combines the energy-efficient phase-change computational memory unit with the high-precision processing unit, it could achieve a high computational accuracy with less energy consumption.

Nature Nanotechnology

Developed for Nature nanotechnology, this cover illustration was designed to communicate the advancements in neuromorphic computing material, specifically the analogous function of chalcogenide-based phase-change material to neurons. Neurons propagate incoming signals once a threshold potential is reached, thereafter resetting the synapse potential in approximately one millisecond. These electronics-based phase-change devices can achieve reversible amorphous to …

Nature Materials Cover

This illustration depicts a scientific advance in phase change memory (PCM) using only one element, antimony. The idea was to represent the monatomic layer as an elegant and simplified solution to building better PCM devices without the complications of different mixtures of elements. Learn more about this illustration in our blog, Phase Change Memory Illustrated.

Nature Electron Microscopy Cover

Developed for Nature magazine, this cover illustration was designed to showcase an innovative use for electron microscopes, the ability to forge new materials on an atomic level.  View our blog post “Phase Change Memory Illustrated” to learn more about our Nature magazine cover illustrations.

The Art and Science of Medical Animation: Behind-the-Scenes

The Vaccine Makers Project, a program of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (VEC@CHOP) and Medical History Pictures (MHP), partnered up again with XVIVO to help develop two new animations, this time about how COVID-19 mRNA and viral vector vaccines work.
Here, we’ll show you what went on behind the scenes to make the COVID-19 vaccine animations.

Understanding the Science Behind Viruses Can Help You Get Through the Pandemic

The beautiful thing about science is that once we understand how things work, we can then make intelligent decisions. There’s a lot of highly politicized and sometimes conflicting messaging floating around about the current COVID-19 pandemic raging across the globe. So we thought it would be timely to share with you some highly informative animations we have produced about the mechanisms of virus transmission and the capability of the human body’s immune system to fight back and protect us.

Chromosomal Testing in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

The volatile and unpredictable nature of subclone emergence makes testing for CLL levels essential. By partnering with XVIVO’s animation team, AbbVie was able to communicate the importance of FISH testing and its influence on CLL diagnosis.

XVIVO Welcomes Medical Illustrator Alisa Brandt

XVIVO is thrilled to announce its newest hire, Alisa Brandt. A Master of Arts graduate of John Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, Alisa has extensive experience in medical and biological illustration, animation and fine art.

Phase Change Memory Illustrated

Phase Change Memory illustration An XVIVO illustration graces the August 2018 journal cover of Nature Materials and is also currently featured on their home page. XVIVO partnered with researchers at RWTH Aachen University in Germany to help visualize the results of their recent studies, which were published in Nature Materials. The researchers were trying to improve on existing methods and devices …
