For the first time, scientists have peered into living cells and created videos showing how they function with unprecedented 3D detail. Using a special microscope and new lighting techniques, a ...

After throwing out what seemed like hundreds of failed ideas, they landed on the Foldscope, an optical microscope based on kirigami, a variation of origami that involves cutting along with folding.

The rise of “big data” today is partly a function of computing technologies that enhanced our data-collecting and processing capabilities, but the microscope had long since taught us that ...

The main difference between these older microscopes and me is that I have a much more powerful electron detector on the receiving end, which allows me to capture details at a much higher resolution.

In 1674, he turned his microscope onto samples of water collected from a nearby lake. He saw thousands of tiny creatures, whose motion “was so swift, and so various upwards, downwards and round ...
