Under the microscope, plankton becomes an unlikely star as artist Jess Holz documents their movements to highlight both their ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

Ultrashort mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser pulses are essential for applications such as molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and biomedical imaging, but their generation often relies on complex ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

A new momentum microscope at Forschungszentrum Jülich makes electrons and their properties in solids visible. The instrument, developed entirely in Jülich, provides unprecedentedly insights into ...

By applying the Kerr effect, Kerr microscopy facilitates the analysis of magnetic domains in steel alloys, supporting ...

Imaging spectroscopic ellipsometry delivers nanometer-level sensitivity and spatial resolution, addressing the limitations of conventional metrology techniques.

It’s far less gross than it sounds (we promise) and could have major implications for how we understand anatomy and disease ...

In A Nutshell Researchers have launched a free, publicly accessible 3D atlas of real human organs that lets anyone zoom from whole-organ views down to near-cellular detail in a web browser. The scans ...

A research team figured out a way to write data onto wafers of glass using lasers, and unlike, for example, a magnetic tape, ...

After decades of debates over the existence and properties of one of the world’s ...
