A simple question: how many times has a phone slipped out of someone’s hand like it was auditioning for a slow-motion ad? Or ...

To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes. Until recently, the quest to build high-resolution maps of brains — otherwise known as ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a ...

DeWalt sells so much more than just high-quality tools and the tool storage solutions you need to keep them secure and well-organized. The iconic brand also offers a wide range of accessories, ...

Researchers have identified a common household beverage as an effective, non-toxic substitute for the hazardous chemicals traditionally used in high-resolution microscopic imaging. A new study ...

Biological materials are masterpieces created by nature. Bones, for example, are extremely hard, yet at the same time elastic ...

To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes. Until recently, the quest to build high-resolution maps of brains—otherwise known as "connectomes" ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...

For centuries, biological imaging has relied on dyes and fluorescent labels to visualize cellular structures -- a practice that not only alters samples but can delay critical medical decisions.
