A laser-based innovation could allow electron microscopes to reveal biological structures that have long remained beyond ...

Imagine owning a camera so powerful it can take freeze-frame photographs of a moving electron—an object traveling so fast it could circle the Earth many times in a matter of a second. Researchers at ...

New research from a team at the Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics within the Institute of Basic Science (IBS) in Seoul, South Korea reports on the development of an optical microscope ...

Beyond the diffraction limit (a) Pre-expansion image of human kidney tissue using a ×60 objective lens and processed with super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (scale bar: 5 µm). (b) The same ...

The unique properties of quantum physics could help solve a longstanding problem that prevents microscopes from producing sharper images at the smallest scales, researchers say. The breakthrough, ...

Super resolution: image taken using the new chip. (Courtesy: Bielefeld University / Robin Diekmann) A photonic chip that allows a conventional microscope to work at nanoscale resolution has been ...

Optical microscopes can help us see the microscopic world, but to use them to examine individual atoms is like measuring an ant with a measuring tape. An atom is way too smaller as compared to the ...

Study of proteins as a single molecule shows promise to help scientists understand the causes of diseases like some cancers. Research on bunched molecules could lead to a more efficient way to ...

When I was little, I used to play with grow capsules, those little plastic pills that expand into a dinosaur or a turtle when you drop them in water. My brothers and I would try to guess what creature ...
