MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

Honey transforms into a stunning visual display when viewed under polarized light microscopy. Wall Street is suddenly on the defensive with the president Department of Labor under fire for language ...

During image analysis, researchers use light sheet microscopy of cleared tissue as a preferred method for high throughput volumetric imaging. A flexible system can provide a range of sizes, resolution ...

Depending on the number of colors in your print job, it might take a bit of work to calibrate all the combinations. Two colors mean there will be two tests: A to B and B to A. But as you add more ...

Water quality can affect spray efficiency as well, with suspended solids clogging strainers and corroding nozzles. A simple water testing strip is an inexpensive means of evaluating pH, which even at ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called ...

To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes. Until recently, the quest to build high-resolution maps of brains — otherwise known as ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...

Light therapy lamps mimic natural light to help boost mood, focus and sleep quality—and ease symptoms of SAD. Our editors ...

Day to day, it might be tempting to take plants for granted. But you'd do so at your peril; our leafy brethren are staggeringly complex, as revealed when they're put under the microscope. To give ...
