Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...

Plasmonic nanogap confinement extends sum frequency vibrational spectroscopy to the nanoscale, enabling direct imaging of ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu By using a temporary Faraday-cage coating that dissolves in minutes, the SAFARI capsule delivers highly specific proof of pill ingestion, without batteries, retrieval, or ...

SLAC researchers develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic electron tomography imaging ...

A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground ...
