Scientists at Caltech have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the resolution of images without damaging the sample… Continue reading Quantum microscope taps “spooky” physics to double resolution of images
Fifty years on from American chemist Pal Laterbur detailing the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scientists have marked this historic medical anniversary with the sharpest-ever scans of a mouse brain.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Duke U… Continue reading Scans that are 64 million times clearer give a new look at the brain

In 2019 we got the first-ever direct image of a black hole, which resembled a fuzzy, orange donut. Now, the team has refined the iconic image with the help of machine learning algorithms to produce the highest resolution image possible with the origina… Continue reading Algorithm makeover produces highest resolution image of black hole
If a robot is going to be grasping delicate objects, then that bot had better know what those objects are, so it can treat them accordingly. A new robotic hand allows it to do so, by sensing the shape of the object along the length of its three digits…. Continue reading Robotic hand identifies what it’s grasping by sensing its shape
Observing a colony, swarm or similar grouping of creatures like ants or zebrafish over longer periods of time can be tricky. Simply recording their behavior with a camera misses a …read more Continue reading Creating a 3D Visualization of Freely Moving Organisms Using Camera Array and Software Algorithm
Scientists at Duke University have developed an incredibly powerful new camera that combines dozens of lenses to capture images and video at resolutions of thousands of megapixels, in three dimensions.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Camera, Came… Continue reading Gigapixel microscope captures 3D images and video in stunning detail
Just as the gold standard for multimeters and other instrumentation likely comes in a yellow package of some sort, there is a similar household name for thermal imaging. But, if …read more Continue reading Pocket-Sized Thermal Imager
In order to see how well a corn plant is performing photosynthesis, you need to check the angle of its leaves relative to its stem. And while scientists ordinarily have to do so manually with a protractor, a new robotic system can now do the job much m… Continue reading Robotic system checks on corn plants by measuring leaf angles
“Look with your eyes, not your hands” is something many of us have heard while growing up, but that doesn’t apply to the touch-sensitive microscope [Steve Mould] got to play …read more Continue reading Behold a Microscope That Sees By Squashing Things Into It
