Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

Fresh snow can look like a blank sheet of paper, so bright it almost hurts to stare at in midday sun. Yet at the microscopic level, those flakes are not white at all, and the color we think we see is ...

Scientists say their Stomata In-Sight tool can observe plants "breathe," which could be used to bioengineer crops that ...

A unique laboratory at Michigan Tech captured microscopic photography of snowflakes in a demonstration of the lab's high-powered scanning electron microscope. The Applied Chemical and Morphological ...

A team from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan has built the tiniest programmable, self-driving ...

In inertial confinement fusion, a capsule of fuel begins at temperatures near zero and pressures close to vacuum. When lasers compress that fuel to trigger fusion, the material heats up to millions of ...

Since 1987, Sarasota's Dennis Brock has been producing the Brock Magiscope, which draws from ambient light and minimizes ...

In a recent study, researchers have unveiled the presence of peculiar microscopic structures in the blood of Long COVID patients. These formations, reported on November 13, 2025, are described as ...

“Mechanical objectivity,” which Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison trace to the mid-nineteenth century, often coincided with efforts to inscribe nature “directly,” such as through automatic registering ...

A team has created minuscule lenses that it can expand or contract in mere seconds -- modifying their magnification, focal length and other optical properties in the process. That on-the-fly ...
