A clever new microscope design allows nanotechnology researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to track the motions of nanoparticles in solution as they dart around in ...

A microscope that studies the most delicate materials by bouncing helium atoms off their surfaces could be made within a year, thanks to the development of the world's smoothest mirror. That's the ...

Microscopes, fishbowls and mirrors are useful tools that serve different purposes. But this week I wish to take a look at the trio outside of the literal sense of how each is intended to be used, as a ...

Researchers have developed a unique shape-tunable mirror that can change shape to optimally channel X-rays. It is composed of a single crystal of lithium niobate. This new technology offers the ...
