Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

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

New hybrid nano-microscope by KRISS allows simultaneous measurement of optical and electrical properties. Expected to accelerate nano-scale research on advanced equipment and materials such as bilayer ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

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 ...

Foundations of Nano Materials Science So, what exactly is nano materials science all about? It’s basically looking ...
