(Nanowerk News) Loughborough University scientists are the first to demonstrate that a terahertz wave camera can capture 3D images of microscopic items hidden inside small objects. Lead researcher Dr ...

Scientists have taken a cutting-edge development from 2018 and pushed it even further, creating a levitation ray capable of lifting microscopic material. At the heart of this innovation is a ...

Almost a century ago, German physicist Werner Heisenberg realised the laws of quantum mechanics placed some fundamental limits on how accurately we can measure certain properties of microscopic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Optical tweezers have been a cornerstone technology for manipulating microscopic objects in various fields, including biotechnology and materials science. However, they have ...

Shrink the Star Trek tractor beam down to a microscopic scale, add the ability to twirl the objects trapped in its path, and you’d have a system much like the one described in the 4 May issue of the ...

Russian researchers have developed luminescent materials that help measure the temperature of microscopic objects - such as individual cells or overheating microchips - without direct contact.
