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

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far ...

A team of researchers in Germany and Australia recently used a new microscopy technique to image nano-scale biological structures at a previously unmanageable resolution, without destroying the living ...

The high-powered, “game-changing” microscopes use electrons rather than light to visualize the shape of samples at near-atomic resolution. Only recently have they become available to scientists in the ...

The world's most advanced light microscopes allow us to see single molecules, proteins, viruses and other very small biological structures -- but even the best microscopes have their limits. Now ...
