You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

Chemists have discovered a way to use visible light to synthesize a class of compounds particularly well suited for use in pharmaceuticals. The class of compounds, called azetidines, had been ...

Automated DIC imaging with the DM6 M microscope enhances six-inch wafer inspection, providing reproducible results and improved efficiency for defect analysis.

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...
