Light microscopy continues to reveal the microscopic world at an ever increasing resolution. Using a new method coined COLD, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Grab your lab coat, or at least pretend you have one, and prepare to zoom way, way in because we’re about to explore a world ...

The neurotransmitter dopamine isn’t just beautiful under polarized light – it’s also a neurotransmitter that can get you high. Photographer Spike Walker just won an award for his breathtaking ...

At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

A microscope that can see up to 1000 individual fermionic atoms has been developed by a team of physicists in the US. Using two laser beams, the research team traps a cloud of potassium atoms in an ...

(Nanowerk News) At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to ...
