What happens below the cellular level when the heart contracts and relaxes has long been unexplored. Thanks to new ultra-high-resolution electron microscopy techniques, scientists can now watch the heart beating – almost at a molecular level.

A new approach that is being tested for feasibility for sperm identification with optical microscopy techniques is the use of deep convolutional neural networks as an image analysis tool. The advantage of these automated analysis methods is that they can be combined with an automated recording of microscope images.

A highly unusual movement of light emitting particles in atomically-thin semiconductors was experimentally confirmed by scientists from the Würzburg–Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat–Complexit ...

In two new MIT classes, undergraduate students learned the fundamentals of nanotechnology through hands-on assignments that taught them to design, build, and test their own nanoscale devices using the facilities of MIT.nano.

Image Credit: Elizaveta Galitckaia/Shutterstock.com Scanning optical microscopy is a microscopy technique that sits within the broader category of scanning probe microscopy. It was developed in the 1980s to enable the study of properties such as refractive index, chemical structure, and local mechanical and chemical stresses at the scale of nanometers. Introduction to Scanning Optical Microscopy Scanning optical microscopy is a method for the investigation of nanostructures in samples. It enab...

The desire to place micro-sized 2D and now 3D art on objects like coins can be traced to a hidden legacy on chips and PCBs.
