It's not easy to make microscopic objects. It's even harder when you need that microscopic object to have specific properties, like the ability to conduct or store electricity. But now researchers say ...

Grab your lab coat, or at least pretend you have one, and prepare to zoom way, way in because we’re about to explore a world ...

Science is supposed to help us see the world more clearly but sometimes, it just reveals how strange it really is. A grain of ...

Conventional manufacturing methods struggle to meet the increasing demand for microscopic and nanoscale products, because small things are difficult to manipulate. An innovative machine that uses a ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Loughborough University scientists are the first to demonstrate that a terahertz wave camera can capture 3D images of microscopic items hidden inside small objects. Lead researcher Dr ...

(Nanowerk News) Have you ever noticed when moving furniture that heavy objects are easier to move if you rotate them at the same time as you push? Many people intuitively do this right. An ...

Researchers have developed a 'coloring-by-shrinking' method to print arbitrary 3D microscopic objects exhibiting structural colors. The design consisted of woodpile photonic crystals with varying ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating tiny vehicles powered by nothing but light. By layering an optical metasurface onto a microscopic particle, and then using a light source to control it, they ...
