Werner Heisenberg's famous uncertainty principle describes one of the most intriguing features of quantum physics: certain pairs of physical quantities describing a particle, such as position and ...
Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...
A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes and microscope lenses that could push 3D tissue imaging beyond ...
A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared to move faster than light itself, darting through a wave field before ...
Can darkness really travel faster than light? A surprising new physics experiment suggests it can—at least in a very unusual way. Scientists observed dark regions within light waves moving faster than ...
Human breast tissue imaged with SCOPE, a new device developed by Professor Raju Tomer and colleagues. The detailed 3D view of the milk-producing glands (called lobules) that are visible here is ...
Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...
Can you use a single atom to capture an image? Single atoms are probably not replacing smartphone cameras soon, but an atom ...
An Australian physicist has codeveloped what he and his collaborators say is the world’s smallest scannable QR code – at ...
TU Darmstadt has once again performed very well in the international competition for research funding: three researchers have been awarded Proof of Concept Grants by the European Research Council (ERC ...
