Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a miniature microscope that allows scientists to observe and activate individual brain cells ...

When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But ...

Within the brain, neurons compute by generating electrical impulses. These signals travel throughout neurons, which are in turn connected in vast networks that control brain functions such as sensory ...

Over the past decades, physicists and engineers have been trying to develop various technologies that leverage quantum mechanical effects, including quantum microscopes. These are microscopy tools ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Ever since scientists began studying the brain, they’ve wanted to get a better look at what was going on. Researchers have poked and prodded and looked at dead cells under electron ...

A team of Dutch and French researchers has built a microscope that can see atomic wave functions. The team has performed an experiment where they ionised xenon atoms in an electric field and recorded ...

Nursing major with low vision pushed for change — and her whole class is benefiting ...
