Recent scientific advancements have opened new opportunities for the close observation of physical phenomena. Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a ...

New ice lithography method enables creation of nanoscale patterns on living tardigrades, advancing integration of biological systems with technology for sensing and monitoring. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Researchers can move microscopic particles and droplets into precise patterns by harnessing the power of sound in air. The implications for printing, especially in the fields of medicine and ...

Researchers have demonstrated a novel way to inscribe microscopic patterns on living organisms, using the resilient tardigrade as a model. The study, published in Nano Letters, explores a technique ...

A sugar mixture similar to hard candy studded with tiny metal discs or rings has been used to deposit patterns onto microscopic objects. This method of creating texture on small objects could be ...

Anthropologists working with a hematologist colleague have developed a way to detect anemia in archaeological remains through microscopic patterns in the structures of bones. Diagnosing anemia in ...

We've already seen antibacterial surfaces that kill microbes on contact, but scientists in the UK have recently gone a different and potentially more effective route. They've created maze-like surface ...

Underneath a microscope, plant stems can become beautiful works of art. Professor Rob Kesseler has shown this through his photographs of plant cells magnified to display extraordinary patterns.

Fluorescence light microscopy has the unique ability to observe cellular processes over a scale that bridges four orders of magnitude. Yet, its application to living cells is fundamentally limited by ...

Laura Brazan is fascinated by the microscopic patterns that appear in the world. As a designer, master engraver and gold inlay artist, she works in fine detail to make those patterns part of her work ...

One of the greatest challenges in designing electronics is drawing very fine details. You normally need lithography, which complicates the process by requiring masks. However, Oak Ridge National ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each ...
