A new microscope can see details at the nanoscale by combining X-rays and an algorithm similar to one used to sharpen images from the Hubble Space Telescope, according to a UC San Diego news release.

Metalenses have been used to image microscopic features of tissue and resolve details smaller than a wavelength of light. Now, Harvard researchers have turned the metalens towards space. Researchers ...

A microscope is a scientific instrument used to magnify small objects so they can be seen larger than life. The simplest microscope is a single lens called a magnifying glass. The larger, more ...
