With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

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

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far ...

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

Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured reporting about current events through a science lens. The new microscope uses a 405 nm laser—the same wavelength ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...
