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

Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Supraparticles are microscopic spheres composed of thousands ...

Scientists created a tiny matrix that stores data by etching its grid into a thin ceramic film with a focused ion beam.

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 ...

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

Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Until now, researchers could only examine the outer surface ...

Discover how Allvar Gullstrand's Nobel-winning research transformed our understanding of the human eye and vision science.

Scientists have successfully tested a material design for light sails using photonic crystals that could achieve 20% the speed of light ...

Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

Wrinkle structures are small ridges and pits in rock, often made by microbial mats. They’re best known from Precambrian and Cambrian strata, where they serve as important evidence of early life, and ...

Walk through a tropical rainforest, and you quickly notice a pattern in the fruits growing around you. Most are red, orange, ...

The structures that UpNano produces in the 3D printer are so small that they are recognizable neither with the naked eye nor with a strong optical microscope. Only under a scanning electron microscope ...
