When thinking about strange animals, we may automatically summon up an image of the famous blobfish with its sullen, slimy face, or the duck-billed platypus, a mammal that has somehow decided to lay ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have built a microscope that can detect a signal over an intensity range 14 times wider than conventional microscopes. Moreover, the observations are made ...

Physically magnifying objects using a key moisture-absorbing ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world. When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass ...

A new microscope can see details at the nanoscale by combining X-rays and an algorithm similar to one used to sharpen images from the Hubble Space Telescope, according to a UC San Diego news release.

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...
