Optical and scanning electron microscope images of a nano-LED device that uses AC power instead of DC power, which could be a game-changer for sharper near-eye displays. Journalists may use this image ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

Researchers used consumer-grade 3D printers to create sub-$1 optical lenses that enable super-resolution nanoscale biological ...
