A new microscope that can capture 3-D images in real time may lead to a better understanding of the inner workings of life. For more than a century, scientists thought they had reached the limit of ...

A new invention—a robotic microscope—is opening the way for scientists to track changes in cells over time as genes are expressed and the resulting proteins go into action. Tracking this dynamic ...

It’s relatively easy to create highly detailed images of even molecule-sized structures if you can keep them still—but if they move, you’ve little chance. Now, a new kind of microscope is allowing ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

University of Arizona researchers have built the world’s fastest electron microscope that stops motion at a mind-boggling one quintillionth second. This revolutionary ‘attomicroscope’ lets us see what ...

In Washington last week Hamilton Watch Co.’s Research Director George Paul Luckey told the Horological Institute about the “time microscope,” a device has contrived for making quick tests of a watch’s ...

Researchers developed a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures the electrical spikes of neurons at hundreds of frames per second in awake animals. WASHINGTON — Researchers have built a tiny, ...

A 3-dimensional microscope that shows changes in materials over time is giving a unique insight into microscopic internal structure and chemical composition. A 3D microscope that shows changes in ...

Scientific discovery is often portrayed as the result of long hours alone in a lab, but true science is inherently collaborative. The most robust experimental processes are developed through ...

X-ray vision was state-of-the-art when Superman launched his career in the 1930s. But if the superhero wants to keep pace with the modern world of nanotechnology, he should upgrade to electron vision, ...

Imagine trying to read braille printed on wet tissue paper. That's what it's been like trying to take a picture of a molecule. Advanced electron microscopes can get amazing resolution, fine enough to ...
