A proposal by a team of UC Davis scientists to develop the world’s first electron microscope capable of filming live biological processes has been awarded a $2 million grant from the National ...

Examples of fermions are electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, and atoms consisting of an odd number of these elementary particles. Because of their fermionic nature, electrons and nuclear matter are ...

This flying microscope is a tool which [Darrell Taylor] can be very proud of. He wanted to have an inspection microscope for working with surface mount projects. He got his hands on a binocular ...

An engineer from IBM’s research unit in Switzerland has built a $300 microscope out of LEGO bricks and other miscellaneous parts. And the results are so good, IBM Research has published them. In a ...

Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time. The fluorescent green blob might look like something from outer space, but trillions of these bizarre-looking objects circulate around ...

A false-color polarimetric image of sugar crystals floating in water. Look past the melty plastic bits, and your average 3D printer is just a handy 3-axis Cartesian motion platform. This makes them ...

A group of young students has built a high-resolution microscope solely out of LEGO pieces and a smartphone lens. The fully functional, high-resolution microscope with capabilities close to a modern ...

For hundreds of years, microscopes have been used by scientists to examine thinly cut samples of tissue and organic matter, and have been pivotal in laboratories. In the NSW city of Newcastle, three ...

Researchers working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) claim to have created a method to better observe fermions – the sub-atomic building blocks of matter – by constructing a ...

Fermions are the building blocks of matter, interacting in a multitude of permutations to give rise to the elements of the periodic table. Without fermions, the physical world would not exist.
