[TheHyperFix] had a problem. He’d spied a brilliant camera slider, but didn’t want to lay out big money to acquire it. The natural solution? Build one! Only, life is seldom so straightforward. The ...

Grab your lab coat, or at least pretend you have one, and prepare to zoom way, way in because we're about to explore a world that's been hiding right under your nose this whole time. Ever wondered ...

There are small miracles of nature that we miss so much. The fine details of the natural world can be shown as minute as the veins of a leaf, the wings of an insect, or the tiny grains of pollen when ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

When using a measurement microscope, users can measure the size and dimensions of sample features in both two and three dimensions, which is important for inspection, quality control (QC), failure ...

Years ago, a quiet bargain began. Automatic license plate readers mounted to police vehicles offered a promise of safer streets, asking in return only for a bit of your privacy. But the balance of ...

More than 5,000 law enforcement departments across the U.S. use interconnected Flock Safety cameras to track residents’ movements. Sandy Boyce, a 72-year-old retiree in Sedona, Arizona, first saw the ...
