Strong laser fields were supposed to be the cleanest way to watch electrons move, yet the latest experiments show that the vacuum itself can quietly reshape what those fields do. By flooding matter ...

Abstract: The potential of wide-field magneto-optical Kerr microscopy for the characterisation of low-dimensional van-der-Waals crystals is explored using the example of Cr₂Ge₂Te₆ flakes in the ten ...

A pandemic-era breakthrough has allowed scientists to literally expand our view of plankton. By using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, researchers visualized the inner workings of hundreds of ...

Nikon's annual Small World competition showcases images of a world that humans can't usually see, as captured through the lens of a microscope. Each year, science and art collide with gorgeous results ...

From spines on neurons to pollen on an insect’s eye, the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo contest offer a kaleidoscopic glimpse into a tiny world. These water fleas (Daphnia sp.) can reproduce ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

The microscope combines a big telecentric photolithography lens with a large tube lens to create sharp, detailed images of large and curved samples. These lenses project the image onto a flat array of ...

An international team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Vanderbilt University, and Delft University of Technology has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...
