Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

From left to right, Albert Suceava, a doctoral student in materials science and engineering, Venkatraman Gopalan, a professor of materials science and engineering, and Saugata Sarker, a graduate ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has announced the development of an innovative nonlinear imaging technique capable of visualizing internal biological tissues in 3D using ordinary light sources, ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

Artistic visualization of XLuminA's automated optical discovery process. The setup shows laser beams being guided through a network of optical elements including beam splitters, spatial light ...

This study presents MPALM, a novel microscopy technique that captures nanoscale biomolecular dynamics, overcoming limitations ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than the atom's width—is comparable to an ocean wave. The light wave can dwarf an ...
