Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

It’s relatively easy to create highly detailed images of even molecule-sized structures if you can keep them still—but if they move, you’ve little chance. Now, a new kind of microscope is allowing ...

A 3-dimensional microscope that shows changes in materials over time is giving a unique insight into microscopic internal structure and chemical composition. A 3D microscope that shows changes in ...

University of Arizona researchers have built the world’s fastest electron microscope that stops motion at a mind-boggling one quintillionth second. This revolutionary ‘attomicroscope’ lets us see what ...

The interactions in photovoltaic materials that convert light into electricity happens in femtoseconds. How fast is that? One femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second­­. To put that in perspective, ...
