Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Under the microscope, plankton becomes an unlikely star as artist Jess Holz documents their movements to highlight both their ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

It’s far less gross than it sounds (we promise) and could have major implications for how we understand anatomy and disease ...

Imaging spectroscopic ellipsometry delivers nanometer-level sensitivity and spatial resolution, addressing the limitations of conventional metrology techniques.

After decades of debates over the existence and properties of one of the world’s ...

Measuring high aspect ratio and composite micro-trenches without damage is critical for advanced microfabrication, yet conventional coherence scanning interferometry often suffers from a low signal-to ...

Some bacteria can take a punch that would crush a submarine. In a new set of impact tests, one desert microbe, Deinococcus ...

The battle between two Springbok flyhalves could decide the war between the Bulls and Stormers in a campaign-shaping United ...
