The ability to tightly pack millions of microscopic secondary emitting channels into a two-dimensional, very thin, array known as a microchannel plate (MCP) provides excellent electrical charge or ...

Volumetric DNA microscopy creates detailed 3D maps of gene expression, offering an unprecedented view of genetic sequences and where they are located.

Opals! Photonic crystals! Structural color! Opals are examples of natural photonic crystals. They are composed of small silica nanoparticles ranging in size from 50-300nm, and packed tightly ...

Intraoperative OCT and 3D visualization are innovative approaches aimed at enhancing the quality of surgical performance.Neither technology is new, and it has taken years to overcome initial ...

The Intel i486 might be over 30 years old, but it's still an incredible piece of technology. Especially when viewed up close with a scanning electron microscope.

From time to time, when Earth's tectonic plates shift, the planet emits a long, slow belch of carbon dioxide. In a new modeling study published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, R. Dietmar ...

A two-dimensional charge position readout has been developed for X-ray imaging on HEAO-B. The system consists of two microchannel plates forming a "chevron", a crossed-wire grid, thirty-four ...

Compact electronics present a unique challenge when it comes to cooling. While thermal management is becoming a growing concern amid increased chip functionality, smaller devices mean there’s less ...

With the support of a two-year, $800,000 grant from the National Science Foundation and an additional $300,000 from the University of Missouri (MU), a team of researchers at MU are adding new ...
