Researchers have discovered a way to recycle the tiny particles used to create supraparticle lasers, a technology that precisely controls light at a very small scale. The breakthrough could help ...

There are two types of microscopes available: simple and compound microscopes. A simple microscope is equipped with one lens but a compound microscope has both an eyepiece and an objective lens.

Simple microscopes like the brightly colored versions you also see in this guide have fewer features but that means less to go wrong or break, so are better suited to the youngest of observers.

The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light collected in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) experiments changes when the tip is placed on an atomic step.

Thanks to the diffraction limit, scientists could use the light microscope to see cells but not the proteins inside them or a virus attacking them. But there are optical microscopes today that can ...

I had to find the right field of view where the differentiated and non-differentiated cells interacted.This took about three hours of precise observation under the microscope to capture the right ...

The first couple of years in retirement are often the most difficult. But they also can set the stage for how you’ll fill the years ahead—both financially and psychologically. Stephen Kreider ...
