A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes ...

Researchers have shown how liquid crystals can be employed to create compound lenses similar to those found in nature. Taking advantage of the geometry in which these liquid crystals like to arrange ...

We use smartphones to talk, chat, play, and, by getting directions, explore the world we walk or drive through. Very soon, thanks to an Italian startup, we will also be able to use smartphones to ...

CORNING, NY — To closely inspect the evolution of the microscope, the Corning Museum of Glass is highlighting the lens-making behind the optical tool. Revealing the Invisible includes one of the few ...

Immune cells fight infectious intruders, for example, or search for incipient cancers. Therefore, they are constantly migrating through the tissues of our body. But in the wrong place, immune cells ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. If a microscope is defined as an instrument that enables the visualization of objects or structures that are usually invisible to ...

Additive manufacturing enables new and unprecedented engineering and production possibilities that are predicted to have an enormous impact in the twenty-first century. The technology allows for the ...

Instead of lugging a heavy microscope into the field, doctors and nurses in remote regions may have a more portable choice — a lightweight microscope that replaces lenses with holograms. Researchers ...

Six years on from the first iMicro smartphone microscope, the team has unveiled its latest: the iMicro Q3p, a fingertip-sized, lightweight device that makes microscopy inexpensive, portable and ...

(Nanowerk News) The compound eyes found in insects and some sea creatures are marvels of evolution. There, thousands of lenses work together to provide sophisticated information without the need for a ...
