Learn about how Mark Raizen and his team at UT Austin have developed the world's highest resolution atom lens. An atom lens is analogous to a glass lens used in an optical microscope or magnifying ...

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type ...

Listed in the Guinness World Records, this tiny electric motor needs a special kind of microscope capable of making out a ...

Physicists in Germany are on the road to making an atom microscope, which uses atoms rather than light to explore the microworld. Their development of lenses and mirrors to sharpen atom laser beams ...

Physicists have deployed a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) as a “quantum microscope” to study phase transitions in a high-temperature superconductor. The experiment marks the first time a BEC has been ...

Researcher Ankita Dhar and facility manager M. Jason de la Cruz at work in MSK's cryo-electron microscopy facility, where MSK's new fourth-generation Krios microscope (far left, behind the glass) ...
