Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

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 ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

The field of materials science has witnessed significant strides in elucidating how the arrangement of electrons within solids dictates their optical behaviour and other functional properties. By ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultracold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. (Nanowerk News) Scientists can now ...

Researchers have developed a way to visualise boron nitride layers that are one atom thick. These ultrathin sheets are typically almost impossible to detect with standard optical microscopes. The team ...
