What's it like to zoom into a drop of water? Watching this video makes me feel like I'm riding on a tiny submarine. Things get interesting when the video zooms in past all of the tiny water bubbles, ...

A glacier's flow depends on how microscopic defects move through the ice, according to new research that also yielded a new model for predicting how glaciers will flow, ultimately contributing to ...

Through a microscopic lens, the heat from an igniting matchstick – captured within one-eight-thousandth of a second – is palpable. A mosaic of caffeine crystals could be mistaken for a work of ...

What occurs during the melting process in two-dimensional systems at the microscopic level? Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have explored this phenomenon in thin magnetic ...

Researchers have invented an entirely new field of microscopy -- nuclear spin microscopy. The team can visualize magnetic signals of nuclear magnetic resonance with a microscope. Quantum sensors ...

As they seep and calve into the sea, melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising global water levels at unprecedented rates. To predict and prepare for future sea-level rise, scientists need a better ...
