Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

A close-up look at a 20 dollar bank note reveals hidden textures, fibers, and micro-details invisible to the naked eye.

Organ-on-chip devices are small, transparent microfluidic platforms, typically the size of a microscope slide, etched with tiny channels through which fluids circulate ...

Infertility affects approximately 8% to 12% of couples of reproductive age worldwide, and IVF (in vitro fertilization) is often the go-to treatment option. Typically, to increase the odds of a ...

Researchers at QuTech in Delft, The Netherlands, have developed a new chip architecture that could make it easier to test and scale up quantum processors based on semiconductor spin qubits. The ...

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) electrothermal actuators are widely used in applications ranging from micro-optics and microfluidics to nanomaterial testing, thanks to their compact size and ...

Teeth are composites of mineral and protein, with a bulk of bony dentin that is highly porous. This structure allows teeth to ...

Advanced imaging revealed a sharp zinc increase toward the tooth pulp, tracking higher dentine porosity. The results could ...
