MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

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

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

PALM BAY, Fla. — Crews from Palm Bay Fire Rescue contained brush fires covering about 5 acres Wednesday in the area of an unfinished development locally known as the Compound. A week prior, ...

Nearly a century ago, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll provided the first demonstration of a microscope that could image specimens using electrons rather than light. The earliest images obtained via this ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) have been advancing our knowledge of the very small for nearly 100 years. Since their advent, they have helped scientists see structures as small as individual ...
