Argonne and Northwestern University scientists teamed up to understand how light interacts with metallic nanoframes, with implications for biosensing, quantum information science and beyond.

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

Narwhal-shaped wavefunctions describe a unique way of confining light to extremely small spaces. The mode volume measures how ...

Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope—smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn’t just about size; it’s ...

Purdue University Fort Wayne is ready to show off a new laboratory to the public that's expected to benefit undergraduates, ...

Grain boundaries determine how strong a material is: the more grain boundaries, the stronger the material. Grain boundaries move through a material, but how this movement works had until now remained ...

Protein-based medicines are increasingly prevalent as a crucial category of contemporary therapeutics. The presence of ...

Recent advances in optical imaging and sensing have significantly improved our ability to investigate biological and material systems. However, many ...

A research group from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology reports in Nature an unprecedented achievement in electron microscopy: the direct measurement of "dark points" within light waves. By ...

Compact cameras came back - and now it seems like it is time for budget video camcorders to make their big return ...
