Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

Using a specially designed robotic microscope to study cultured cells, researchers have found evidence that abnormal protein clumps called inclusion bodies in neurons from people with Huntington's ...

Scanning tunneling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many years ...

Luminescent chiral molecules encode a unique optical fingerprint when emitting Circularly Polarised Light that contains information about the molecular environment, conformation, and binding state.
