Ice in nature is surrounded by liquid most of the time, and therefore it is key to understand how ice and liquid interact. A Kobe University and Institute for Molecular Science study has now for the ...

Using a microscope during root canal treatment may improve outcomes and aid in handling complex cases with a more favorable prognosis, according to a study recently published in the Journal of ...

To observe living cells through a microscope, a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide. It then lies there calmly and the cells are observable. The disadvantage is that this limits how the ...

Physicists at the University of Regensburg have found a way to manipulate the quantum state of individual electrons using a microscope with atomic resolution. The results of the study have now been ...

A technique that supersizes cells to reveal minute details has gone big — really big. Using a polymer similar to those used in nappies to make them super-absorbent, scientists have expanded the volume ...

Modern microscopes opened up the world of the minute to an amazing degree, allowing people to see all the way down to a bacterium wriggling on a slide. But if you want to see down even smaller in ...

The world around you contains hidden universes of breathtaking complexity and alien beauty. Every grain of salt, every strand of hair, and every drop of pond water harbors microscopic landscapes that ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...
