Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

Try searching for your own micrometeorites by collecting particulates from roofs or drain spouts. Use a magnet to see if any particles are attracted, and discard nonmagnetic ones. Use your microscope ...

Effective stereo microscope selection depends on understanding application demands and the performance factors that affect 3D ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

To touch grass, venture outdoors and take a break from doom-and-gloom news, what can one do to pass the time without a smartphone? Perhaps they can take a peek into the infinitesimal world outside ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

Engineer Manu Prakash helped develop a malaria-finding microscope that works in low-resource settings, improving access to sensitive infectious disease diagnostics.
