Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

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

When clouds roll over a field or a greenhouse lamp dims, plant leaves have to choose fast. Keep pores open to grab carbon dioxide, or close them to save water. A new study has watched that choice ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

Even when cancer surgery goes well, it’s far from guaranteed that all the cancer has been removed. The excised tumor is sent to a pathology lab, which analyzes it under a microscope to estimate how ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Mr. John Whelan’s fifth-graders file into his classroom, and their eyes light up when they see a series of microscopes set up at stations throughout the space. Mr. Rob Isner, program ...

Nowadays, if you have a microscope, you probably have a camera of some sort attached. [Applied Science] shows how you can add an array of tiny LEDs and some compute power to produce high-resolution ...
