The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2014 was awarded for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. Inspired by this work, scientists at Institute of Photonic Chips (IPC), University of ...

(Nanowerk News) Nature provides an abundance of functional surfaces as a direct consequence of evolutionary pressure that forces them to demonstrate adaptation to environmental conditions and ...

Important instruments for neuroscience and medical diagnostics, optically pumped magnetometers measure responses of polarized atoms to produce information about the low-frequency external field. They ...

Physicists have built a tractor beam out of lasers that can both repel and attract objects across distances 100 times farther than previously possible. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

Every cat owner knows how their feline companions delight in chasing a tiny pinpoint of light from a simple laser pointer. Now, Brazilian physicists have figured out how to trap and bend laser light ...

Laser engraving uses a powerful beam of light to create detailed designs on various materials. The laser works by vaporizing the surface layer, leaving behind precise and lasting marks or etchings.

Semiconductors are an integral part of the inner workings of medical devices, assisting in the conductivity between a non-conductor and a conductor to control electricity flow. In turn, the assembly ...
