How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

Optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy is an infrared super-resolution measurement technique where a shorter ...

Scientists have shattered the diffraction limit, using continuous-wave lasers to resolve images at 0.1 nanometers.

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

A project at Duke University has demonstrated how commercial AI models could accelerate microscopic examination of 2D materials and analysis of the results. The Duke Lab of Haozhe "Harry" Wang has ...

In a significant leap forward for photonics engineering, researchers at Zhejiang University (ZJU) in China have pioneered a breakthrough method to fabricate intricate micro/nano optical fibers (MNFs) ...

One of private credit’s favorite fund structures has emerged as a new battleground for traders and Wall Street executives looking for signs of weakness in the market. Publicly traded business ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...
