Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images ...

All matter is made of very small units called atoms. Atoms are so small they cannot be seen using a regular microscope. Scientists have discovered a way to “see” atoms using a special instrument ...

The DIGIT imaging tool could enable the design of quantum devices and shed light on atomic-scale processes in cells and tissues. (Nanowerk News) If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then ...

Scientists used a fast laser to wiggle atoms, temporarily altering material behavior, a step toward smaller, more efficient electronics like smartphones. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Michigan State ...
