Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Composite of three mages from new microscope technology show a cell's replication machinery in green, already-replicated DNA is ...

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

For the first time, scientists used a microscope to directly observe light as it traveled through a crystal. The research, which was conducted with a one-of-a-kind, ultrafast transmission electron ...

With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

Researchers have demonstrated a quantum microscope that can break through a fundamental barrier faced by regular microscopes and see tiny structures that are normally invisible. The device “squeezes” ...

Which pocket microscopes are best? Pocket microscopes are popular with everyone from electrical engineers and botanists, who use them to inspect their work, to curious children interested in the world ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...
