New types of semiconductor devices that respond to light could be possible using materials called perovskites, according to a ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Amid Tiger Woods' DUI arrest, Donald Trump shared his thoughts on the golf icon, drawing attention to their unexpected ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

Argonne and Northwestern University scientists teamed up to understand how light interacts with metallic nanoframes, with implications for biosensing, quantum information science and beyond.

Narwhal-shaped wavefunctions describe a unique way of confining light to extremely small spaces. The mode volume measures how ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

China's major scientific infrastructure, the "super microscope", has reached a significant milestone in its Phase II construction, with its first beamline, the neutron technology development station, ...

Microscopic fibers secretly shape how every organ in the body works, yet they’ve been notoriously hard to study—until now. A new imaging technique called ComSLI reveals hidden fiber orientations in ...

Researchers have built a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using atom-thin materials. The light flashes last just femtoseconds and can be ...
