Watch the birth of a tardigrade under a microscope: a rare glimpse of a water bear hatching  Boing Boing Source link

More than 97% of electron microscope images aren’t reported in peer-reviewed scientific papers, according to a large-scale analysis. The authors of the study, analysed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images produced at a single core facility for over a decade. Out of the more than 152,000 evaluated images, the authors found that only just under 3600 …

Here are some pictures showing just what those scratches look like under a digital microscope: iFixit talked to David Niebuhr, an engineer and professor of mechanical engineering, who has an explanation for why scratches around the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera plateau stick out so much with spalling damage that didn’t appear in tests of other areas. According to Niebuhr, the …

Since its discovery in 1999, the near-Earth asteroid Bennu has captivated scientists as a time capsule from the early solar system — and also as a key to possibly understanding the origins of life. To study the asteroid in depth, NASA launched the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to Bennu. The probe collected samples in 2020 and returned them to Earth in 2023. …

With its microgravity environment, the International Space Station (ISS) provides researchers unique opportunities to study the effects of spaceflight on the human body, plants, bacteria and other systems. Various companies and universities partner with NASA to perform their experiments aboard the ISS, making the space station a constant hub of scientific research. What is it? One of the projects supported …

Atomic Vision Achieved: New Microscope Sees Light at 1-Nanometer Precision  SciTechDaily Source link

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been limited by a fundamental physical rule known as the diffraction limit, which prevents them from clearly seeing anything smaller than about 200 nanometers—far too large to capture single atoms. This limitation has …
