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

Under a microscope, the newly described organism Solarion looks less like a cell and more like a tiny star, its body ringed with radiant spikes that seem to glow against the dark. What researchers ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image ...

Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

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

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 ...

Scientists have created a soft wireless implant that uses tiny flashes of light to send information straight into the brain, ...

Researchers have discovered a large, orderly spiral galaxy that formed soon after the Big Bang, when space was only about 1.5 ...
