Explore the incredible microscopic world of a pear fruit tree as we examine its leaves, bark, skin, flesh, and seed using high-magnification microscopy. Witness plant cells up close at 40x to 400x, ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

Argonne and Northwestern University scientists teamed up to understand how light interacts with metallic nanoframes, with implications for biosensing, quantum information science and beyond.

Olivine, the most common mineral in the upper 400 km (about 250 miles) of Earth’s interior, has long been studied for how it deforms. Scientists have identified two primary directions of dislocation ...

Grain boundaries determine how strong a material is: the more grain boundaries, the stronger the material. Grain boundaries move through a material, but how this movement works had until now remained ...

A chemical signature in a lunar rock offers new insights into what early oxygen conditions were like on the Moon.
