Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single ...

Learn about how Mark Raizen and his team at UT Austin have developed the world's highest resolution atom lens. An atom lens is analogous to a glass lens used in an optical microscope or magnifying ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Physicists have deployed a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) as a “quantum microscope” to study phase transitions in a high-temperature superconductor. The experiment marks the first time a BEC has been ...

An Atom Probe is a scientific instrument with the full name “atom probe field ion microscope”. The atom probe allows individual atoms to be seen and also identified. An atom probe is a point ...

Physicists in Germany are on the road to making an atom microscope, which uses atoms rather than light to explore the microworld. Their development of lenses and mirrors to sharpen atom laser beams ...
