A University at Buffalo-led team has found a way to help chiral semiconductors, electronic materials whose structures are left- or right-handed like many of life's building blocks, absorb visible ...

The qualifying compound from a $299 elite race shoe now sits inside a daily trainer assembled in Himachal Pradesh. Delhi tested it across three time windows. Mumbai tested it at a Def Leppard concert.

Light doesn’t just help plants grow—it may also quietly hold them back. Researchers have uncovered a surprising mechanism where light strengthens the “glue” between a plant’s outer skin and its inner ...

Researchers showed that OLEDs can be made faster by suitable material selection and device design to achieve record-fast transmission. A stable organic compound called dinaphthylperylene (DNP), known ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

As an outstanding visual system for insects and crustaceans to cope with the challenges of survival, compound eye has many unique advantages, such as wide field of view, rapid response, infinite depth ...

Microbial cells are widespread in diverse deep subseafloor environments; however, the viability, growth, and ecophysiology of these low-abundance organisms are poorly understood. Using ...

We’re willing to bet it’s been a minute since you prepared slides in a science lab. If your kid’s back-to-school list includes a microscope, you probably need a refresher before beginning your search.

Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...
