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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that enables simultaneous protein localisation and ultrastructural imaging in ...
