Modern technology uses many frequencies
of electromagnetic radiation for communication, including radio waves, TV
signals, microwaves and visible light. Now, a University of Utah study shows how
far-infrared light – the last unexploited...

At the root of scientific study are observations made with the eyes; yet in
nanoscience, our eyes fail us. The smallest object we can see still looms
thousands of times larger than a typical nano-sized structure. Even the most
powerful...

Improving the quality of a high magnification image on an optical microscope is
simply a matter of cranking up the intensity of the illumination lamp. The
same is true for x-ray microscopes, but complications arise when there just
aren't...

For the first time, physicists have devised a
way to make visible light travel in the opposite direction that it normally
bends when passing from one material to another, like from air through water or
glass. The phenomenon is known as...

Although mice, like most mammals, typically view the world with a limited
color palette—similar to what some people with red-green color blindness
see—scientists have now transformed their vision by introducing a single human
gene into a...
