Over the course of six months, black lesions and deep ulcers formed over the body of a 78-year-old man, puzzling doctors. His ...

TB tests use phlegm — not the easiest thing to get or work with. It takes time for results. And there can be false negatives and positives. A new test is more accurate and takes less than half an hour ...

The patient's brother unknowingly carried a homozygous mutation that inhibits HIV infections, leading to what doctors call "winning the lottery twice." ...

An international team of researchers built a highly sensitive quantum microscope and used it to directly observe, for the first time at room temperature, how electrons subtly interact with each other ...

Moiré materials — atomically thin, two-dimensional layered structures such as graphene — have emerged as one of the most exciting frontiers in condensed matter physics. By stacking these atomic layers ...

Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope. Neat! Iran rejects US peace talks proposal, sends counteroffer Dietitians ...

A draft State Department memo outlines ways the Trump administration may ratchet up pressure on the African country by ending health support “on a massive scale.” By Stephanie Nolen Reporting from ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

Just how small can a QR code be? Small enough that it can only be recognized with an electron microscope. A research team at TU Wien, working together with the data storage technology company Cerabyte ...

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...
