A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a broader research community, boosting our understanding of brain function and ...

Behold, the world’s fastest microscope: it works at such an astounding speed that it’s the first-ever device capable of capturing a clear image of moving electrons. This is a potentially ...

ABLASCAN, a plug-and-play microscope developed by French deep tech startup Ablatom, can reveal the atomic composition of materials in just milliseconds. Demonstrated at the ongoing CES 2025, the ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record-breaking modern iteration finally achieved what physicists have waited decades to see—for the first time, a transmission electron ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and ...

For centuries, the field of pathology has been defined by a single instrument: the microscope. But according to William ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, even if it’s wrapped in Red Bull. A TikTok account run by @micromagic6 examines foods under a microscope, such as raw meats, fruits and popular beverages. The account ...

A pair of strong binoculars brings far-away objects much closer, letting you examine them from a safe distance. But there is an entirely different world when you look closely at the smallest creatures ...
