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

Now researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to use terahertz light to watch a ...

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

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

For the first time, scientists used a microscope to directly observe light as it traveled through a crystal. The research, which was conducted with a one-of-a-kind, ultrafast transmission electron ...

Australian researchers have demonstrated a quantum microscope that can break through a fundamental barrier faced by regular microscopes and see tiny structures that are normally invisible. The device ...

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

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

Which pocket microscopes are best? Pocket microscopes are popular with everyone from electrical engineers and botanists, who use them to inspect their work, to curious children interested in the world ...
