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 ...

There are obvious differences between cancerous cells and normal cells in morphology, chemical properties and mechanical properties. The detection of cytochemical and mechanical properties of tumor ...

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

Analyzing magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution is a test-and-measurement challenge, but it’s important for both advanced physics insight as well as real-world products such as high-density ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

PI, a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning, announces fast delivery of its nanometer-precise, high-speed V-308 vertical nanopositioning stage. The system offers 7 mm of ...

A bright yellow pigment favored a century ago by Impressionists such as Matisse and Van Gogh is losing its luster. Researchers have developed a laser imaging technique that can detect the first tiny ...

Jueden's experiment began by accident. While using a low-cost digital microscope to inspect electronics, he turned it toward a LaserDisc out of curiosity. Under magnification, faint ...
