Three years after a team of Caltech scientists showed that pairs of entangled photons could double the resolution of a light ...

When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But ...

Within the brain, neurons compute by generating electrical impulses. These signals travel throughout neurons, which are in turn connected in vast networks that control brain functions such as sensory ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...
