Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high resolution ...

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 ...

A powerful, custom-built X-ray microscope at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory was used by researchers to directly observe the magnetic version of a soliton, a type of ...

The researchers say this breakthrough could have applications in quantum physics, chemistry and biology. “The improvement of the temporal resolution inside of electron microscopes has been long ...

Photonic crystals are materials in which a periodic variation of the dielectric constant results in a photonic band gap. Photons with wavelengths or energies in this gap cannot travel through the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Congratulations to the Nano-Optics Group, led by Professor Markus Raschke, who has announced a record-breaking new optical microscope that can capture images at both the ultrafast and the nano-scale.

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 ...
