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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created a miniaturized microscope for real-time, high-resolution, noninvasive imaging of brain activity in mice. The device is a significant ...

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 ...

The saying goes, “Lightning never strikes the same place twice.” But what's in a saying? Dr. Eric Betzig recently showed creating one revolutionary new microscope doesn’t mean he can’t create another.

University of Arkansas’ assistant professor of biomedical engineering Timothy Muldoon has developed an endoscopic fiber-optic microscope capable of assisting medical staff in diagnosing the early ...

Progress in science is often linked to better ways of seeing: Stronger telescopes bring more stars into view, microscopes made bacteria vivid, new genomic techniques tease out once-hidden forms of ...

Engineers have designed an atomic force microscope that scans images 2,000 times faster than existing commercial models. With this new high-speed instrument, the team produced images of chemical ...

Although corals look like a plant, they are actually animals, made up of thousands of individual polyps living together in a colony. Because of their small size, scientific observation of them has ...

Using a miniature microscope that opens a window into the brain, UCLA neuroscientists have identified in mice how the brain links different memories over time. While aging weakens these connections, ...

Garry Shandling wasn’t easy to classify in life. He was a widely admired stand-up comic and a creator of two influential TV series: “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,” a self-aware deconstruction of the ...
