The recent availability of AlN substrates with diameters of up to 100 mm could be a game-changer for a number of compound semiconductor devices. This foundation provides a native platform for UVC LEDs ...

Breakthrough microscope captures the fastest ever view of electrons in motion, opening a new window into the quantum world.

A difficulty-graded mouse brain dataset pairs 3D microscopy images with verified neuron reconstructions to support AI-driven ...

In a significant development, researchers from Bengaluru have shown for the first time that how a metal interacts with light can be actively tuned by applying mechanical strain. The finding ...

Unlike almost every other kind of microscope, atomic-force microscopes (AFMs) don’t use any kind of optical beam to image ...

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ...

A depth-compensated diffractive optical element photoacoustic microscope enables more uniform photoacoustic imaging across tissue depths.

Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared to move faster than light itself, darting through a wave field before ...

In this study, a single atom trapped by an optical tweezer was successfully utilized as a scanning probe *4 for imaging the fine structures of intensity and polarization distributions of light ...

Four terabytes of data per hour. That number comes not from a supercomputer or a satellite, but from a pair of microscopes running around the clock in a windowless room at Berkeley, filming the inner ...

For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the tiny world. Microscopes use light to magnify cells, microbes, and nanomaterials—but light also behaves like a wave, and waves ...
