A team of Cornell University engineers developed a new microscopy technique that’s powerful enough to spot an individual atom in three dimensions — and create an image so clear that the only ...

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 ...

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 ...

"This microscope is very, very, very unusual," says Keller, a developmental biologist and optical physicist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia research campus. That's because it's built ...

A man built an improvised high-powered microscope using an old glue stick. He created the portable optical instrument with materials such as lenses and a white LED, taping them securely onto the ...

To get an up-close look at a patient's tissue, a doctor typically does a biopsy—chops off a tiny chunk of organ or tumor and sends it to a lab for processing. The lab encases the tissue in paraffin ...

For centuries, the field of pathology has been defined by a single instrument: the microscope. But according to William ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

Following Friday's Apple Watch teardown, the experts at Chipworks posted a close-up look at the parts that make it tick, including X-ray imagery of Apple's new S1 system-on-chip design. In its own ...
