Traditionally, X-ray methods require at least 10,000 atoms to generate a detectable signal. This is because the X-ray signal ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

A team of researchers at Radboud University has discovered a promising new method to make ammonia—a key ingredient in ...

This achievement removes one of the biggest roadblocks in quantum materials science and brings practical quantum devices much ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford demonstrate an approach to interpreting how materials interact with polarized light, ...

Dermatologists explain the science behind wildly popular treatments like red light therapy, which is now available at home—for a steep price. Full-face LED masks like this one can cost up to several ...

Super-resolution microscopy includes a variety of microscopy techniques that increase the resolving ability of a light microscope well beyond the classical limits dictated by the diffraction barrier.

Now in its ninth year, our annual poll showcases 255 vital video essays, nominated by 72 international voters.

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...
