Engineers have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating – to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally repaired.

The microscope, a revolutionary instrument that has reshaped our understanding of the world at a microscopic level, has seen substantial advancements since its inception in the 17th century. The most ...

A glacier's flow depends on how microscopic defects move through the ice, according to new research that also yielded a new model for predicting how glaciers will flow, ultimately contributing to ...

Spiral-tip motion combined with image reconstruction techniques is an approach that can help scientists better understand the behavior of an electric charge at the microscopic level, essential for ...

A close-up look at water samples from a fallout shelter under the microscope, exploring what’s visible at the microscopic level and what it reveals through science. #Microscope #ScienceExplained #Wate ...

Researchers have invented an entirely new field of microscopy -- nuclear spin microscopy. The team can visualize magnetic signals of nuclear magnetic resonance with a microscope. Quantum sensors ...

Scientists at King’s College London have built the world’s hottest engine—one so extreme that it reaches temperatures higher than the core of the sun. The engine isn’t a motor like you’d find in a car ...

Through a microscopic lens, the heat from an igniting matchstick – captured within one-eight-thousandth of a second – is palpable. A mosaic of caffeine crystals could be mistaken for a work of ...

An ordinary can of tuna looks very different when magnified, revealing unexpected structures and details at the microscopic ...
