Researchers at ICIQ in Tarragona have developed a simple technique to produce microscopic crystals that activate in the presence of light, releasing silver ions with antimicrobial activity. In ancient ...

Every cell of the deadly Plasmodium falciparum parasite, the organism that causes malaria, contains a tiny compartment full of microscopic iron crystals. As long as the parasite is alive, the crystals ...

Ever wondered what everyday things under a microscope look like? You’ll never look at a toothbrush—or a grain of salt—the ...

Researchers at Diamond Light Source have used advanced imaging to look at microscopic crystals, called nanolites, to see what they can tell us about volcanic eruptions. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

Scientists put carbon in a deep frozen magnetic field to create Wigner crystals. This elusive state results from electrons trying to escape each other in a small space. To capture the crystals, ...

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 ...
