Researchers have developed a novel low-cost, compact, portable on-chip light microscope capable of carrying out ultrasensitive analysis of transparent objects and biomarkers in a large detection ...

Current medical diagnostics involve sending samples to laboratory facilities, which can be difficult and expensive. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have designed a ...

Versatility and miniaturization of imaging systems is of great importance in today’s information society. Microscopic imaging techniques have always been indispensable for scientific research, ...

New research shows that a portable, battery-operated fluorescence microscope, which costs $240, stacks up nicely against devices that retail for as much as $40,000 in diagnosing signs of tuberculosis.

A research team at UCLA, led by Professor Aydogan Ozcan, has introduced BlurryScope, a compact, cost-effective scanning microscope that combines simple optical hardware with advanced deep learning ...

To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city where tiny parts called organelles move, reorganize, and respond to ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...

A high-voltage transmission electron microscope (HVTEM) small enough to fit inside a university lab has been built for the first time by researchers in Japan. The team, led by Takumi Sannomiya at ...
