Can you believe these tiny glands make such a beautiful flower? These minuscule pieces of salt look like massive boulders up close. Pay attention to those tiny crystals on the rim of your next ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

(Phys.org)—Scientists working at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source have captured the first single-shot X-ray microscope image of a magnetic nanostructure and shown that it can be done without ...

Encouraged by these results, Dudin, Dey, Guichard, and Hamel launched a close collaboration. Three years later, their work has produced near-encyclopedic insight into hundreds of protist species and ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...
