Optical microscopy has long been a fundamental tool for scientific discovery. Yet, traditional far-field techniques are limited by diffraction, restricting their resolution to hundreds of nanometers, ...

When a laser experiment fails to produce the expected flash of light, most researchers would assume something went wrong with ...

Using muon spin rotation spectroscopy, researchers from Japan and Canada have successfully captured the rapid conversion of ...

Scientists successfully visualized the ultrafast dynamics of quasi-particles known as excitons, which are generated in carbon nanotubes upon light excitation. This was achieved with spatial and ...

Excitons--bound pairs of electrons and holes created by light--are key to the optoelectronic behavior of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). However, because excitons are confined to extremely small regions and ...

Scientists visualize real-time changes in light-sensitive nanomaterials, opening new frontiers in advanced materials research and analysis. (Nanowerk News) A team at the Institute for Basic Science ...

Virtually every scientific field has made strides by harnessing light to study the properties of substances. This technique, called spectroscopy, has countless research applications, and innovations ...

a, diagrams for the three main ultrafast tip-based microscopy techniques discussed in the review. b, exploration of physical processes through the techniques described above, sorted on the basis of ...
