A burst of invisible light can do more than illuminate a surface. In a new study, Michigan State University researchers used ...

Scientists say their Stomata In-Sight tool can observe plants "breathe," which could be used to bioengineer crops that require less water, making them potentially more resilient to climate change.

Scientists have built a new kind of microscope that lets them see something they haven't been able to before: exactly how heat moves through thermoelectric materials. That might sound niche, but it is ...

Scientists use confocal microscopy to study intracellular organization, structures, and dynamics in 3D. Selecting a microscope platform for a research project can be challenging because different ...

A team led by Indian scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) have developed a hybrid microscope capable of simultaneously imaging the full 3D orientation and position of molecules, such ...

Researchers show that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging.
