Discover how to transform a basic webcam into a powerful DIY microscope using simple materials. In this step-by-step tutorial, you'll learn how to build a functional microscope stand from cardboard, ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

Transmission electron microscopy is a general type of electron microscopy that generates an image of the internal structure of a thin sample using a beam of electrons to achieve much higher spatial ...

Good science anticipates the shortcomings of human intuition; it expects that the concepts so useful for interpreting the world around us, at the familiar human scale, may well prove unsuitable ...

Carbohydrates are not the enemy; complex carbs from whole, unprocessed plant foods provide nutrients, while simple carbs from processed foods offer fewer benefits. To cut back on carbs, reduce ...
