A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

A team of researchers at Radboud University has discovered a promising new method to make ammonia—a key ingredient in ...

Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

Professor Timo Betz is a biophysicist at the University of Göttingen in Germany. His name is found on widely cited research papers with serious-sounding titles like Neurite branch retraction is caused ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

For big-ticket purchases, I tend to do a lot of research before I open my wallet. I like to at least have the illusion that when I send my money off to a far-away stranger, I’m likely to get back ...

The history of who invented chocolate and how it's made is as interesting as the food is delicious. Mayans and Aztecs used cacao beans as a form of currency and even offered the beans to their gods.

This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To resolve this issue, the team uses nonlinear microscopy with infrared light, making the ...
