A new invention—a robotic microscope—is opening the way for scientists to track changes in cells over time as genes are expressed and the resulting proteins go into action. Tracking this dynamic ...

A new microscope that can capture 3-D images in real time may lead to a better understanding of the inner workings of life. For more than a century, scientists thought they had reached the limit of ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures the electrical spikes of neurons at hundreds of frames per second in awake animals. WASHINGTON — Researchers have built a tiny, ...

University of Arizona researchers have built the world’s fastest electron microscope that stops motion at a mind-boggling one quintillionth second. This revolutionary ‘attomicroscope’ lets us see what ...

The subatomic world is hard to image not just because it’s incredibly tiny, but super fast too. Now physicists at the University of Arizona have developed the world’s fastest electron microscope to ...

It’s time to expand the horizons of microscopy, according to Israeli startup Augmentiqs, as the instruments — used for seeing small objects invisible to the naked eye — have remained essentially ...

Scientists at Duke University have created a real-time video that captures the frantic movements of a single virus as it tries to infect a cell. The video shows a part of the process that’s normally ...
