Energy can be carried in a number of ways: by electrons, the particles that underpin all modern electronics, as well as by ...

For the first time, an international team of researchers from Germany, Thailand, India, China and the United States has ...

Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a ...

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 ...

An international team has created a three-component Hubbard system with tunable interactions, imaging individual ultracold ...

The unique properties of quantum physics could help solve a longstanding problem that prevents microscopes from producing sharper images at the smallest scales, researchers say. The breakthrough, ...

Every schoolkid has peered into a microscope and been awed by the hidden world of skin cells and squiggly bacteria. But microscopes are also critical tools for investigating the causes of disease and ...

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 ...

When the Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek first demonstrated the potential of the microscope in the 17th century, medicine was without vaccination, anaesthetic or antiseptic. Three centuries ...
