Researchers use laser light to reprogram a liquid-crystal metasurface, enabling tunable optical functions for future ...
Vladimir Zharov presents his vision for how to overcome the spectral, diffraction, and detection limits in spectroscopy, ...
Conjugated polymers have long promised a cheap, flexible route to photonic devices that inorganic crystals can only match at far greater cost and complexity. Now a team of researchers from the ...
Metallic nanostructures are exceptionally effective at concentrating light into tiny volumes, while dielectric nanostructures excel at storing light ...
Aging is intimately entangled with the reprogramming of metabolic pathways that coordinate energy production, biosynthesis, and molecular turnover. However, visualizing and understanding these ...
Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...
Bone health assessment has traditionally hinged on measuring bone mineral density (BMD), widely regarded as the definitive standard for fracture risk prediction. However, this well-established metric ...
In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley campus, two bespoke microscopes — each a Swiss Army knife for high-resolution imaging — operate around the clock gathering data ...
Announcing a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250312. Bone mineral density (BMD) has long been the "gold standard" for assessing fracture risk. However, clinicians ...
Physically magnifying objects using a key moisture-absorbing ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world. When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass ...
Scientists are continually striving to improve the sensitivity of label-free optical microscopy, a vital tool for biological and materials science, which is typically restricted by fundamental limits ...
Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of quantum mechanical effects, they succeeded for the first time in performing ...
