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

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.

A research group from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology reports in Nature an unprecedented achievement in electron ...

A microscope reveals unexpected movement inside an air filter raising concerns about what we breathe daily. #Microscope ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

From outer space to the human brain, Tufts University’s research labs explore various fields of science to uncover new ...

Once considered impractical, electron microscopy–based connectomics has transformed neuroscience, earning Nature Methods’ ...

Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope—smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn’t just about size; it’s ...

Dark structures inside light waves can briefly move faster than light without breaking relativity or transmitting energy or information.

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

Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

The problem with diffusion is that it’s notoriously slow. The oxygen constraint hypothesis argued that the larger the insect ...
