How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

(Nanowerk News) US scientists have developed a lens that can transmit images over long distances with a resolution that is not restricted by light wavelength. The resolution of conventional lenses is ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists from ITMO University have proven that a silicon-gold nanoparticle can act as an effective source of white light when agitated by a pulse laser in IR band. One such "nanobulb ...

Hackers frequently find themselves reverse-engineering or interfacing to existing hardware and devices, and when that interface needs to be a physical one, it really pays to be able to take accurate ...

Scientists have developed a light microscope so powerful that it allows researchers to discern the precise intracellular location of nearly each individual protein they are studying. The new technique ...

CORNING, NY — To closely inspect the evolution of the microscope, the Corning Museum of Glass is highlighting the lens-making behind the optical tool. Revealing the Invisible includes one of the few ...

Microscopes are of three basic types: optical, electron (or ion), and scanning probe. The modern optical or light microscope was developed in the mid-19th century. Optical microscopes use transparent ...

Quantum Microscopes are the next big thing, and it would soon help in seeing the "impossible" objects to be seen even under certain scientific instruments more recognizable. The world is evolving, and ...
