Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

A video shared on social media authentically showed mites on a Pringles-brand chip placed under a microscope. Rating: Mixture (About this rating?) Context: The video shows no evidence of digital ...

The saying goes, “Lightning never strikes the same place twice.” But what's in a saying? Dr. Eric Betzig recently showed creating one revolutionary new microscope doesn’t mean he can’t create another.

Scientists at Duke University have developed an incredibly powerful new camera that combines dozens of lenses to capture images and video at resolutions of thousands of megapixels, in three dimensions ...

Music has magical powers—if you don’t believe me, just ask this kid—and the way a relatively low-tech device like a record player creates it can be equally mystifying. Using a scanning electron ...

Or more precisely, as neuroscientist Eric Betzig and his colleagues put it in today’s issue of Science: “Every living thing is a complex thermodynamic pocket of reduced entropy through which matter ...
