New research from a team at the Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics within the Institute of Basic Science (IBS) in Seoul, South Korea reports on the development of an optical microscope ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

Photonic crystals are materials in which a periodic variation of the dielectric constant results in a photonic band gap. Photons with wavelengths or energies in this gap cannot travel through the ...

Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high resolution ...

Study of proteins as a single molecule shows promise to help scientists understand the causes of diseases like some cancers. Research on bunched molecules could lead to a more efficient way to ...

A powerful, custom-built X-ray microscope at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory was used by researchers to directly observe the magnetic version of a soliton, a type of ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

As part of our continuous investment in high-quality teaching facilities, the School of Physics has installed a new TESCAN VEGA3 XMU high resolution Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with ...

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
