- Quantum holographic storage: it works!
- Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated quantum holographic storage, shattering long-held assumptions about the information limits of matter. Moving into the sub-atomic realm, they permanently stored 35 bits in the quantum space surrounding a single electron. Moreover, the technique allows holograms to be "stacked" in 3 dimensions....

- Watching the nanoworld in 4-D
- Caltech researchers have developed a new technique named 4-D electron microscopy to capture images of atoms in real time. They claim that their 4-D microscope will revolutionize the way we look at the nanoworld. Caltech adds that Ahmed Zewail, winner of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and his colleagues,...

- A microscope measuring picometers
- A few months ago, I've written about the most powerful microscope in the world which was able to display images at an incredible high-resolution of just 0.05 nanometer (or 50 picometers). It seems that German scientists also have pushed electron microscopy to the picometer scale and broke the record for...

- A super-resolution x-ray microscope
- Swiss researchers have developed a very-high-resolution x-ray microscope. Their approach combines two well-known microscopy techniques, coherent diffractive imaging CDI and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy STXM. As a result, the new system offers both the high penetration power of x-rays and high spatial resolution. This method will allow other scientists to...

- Nanoparticles used to trap oil drops
- Rice University researchers have found a new way to spontaneously assemble nanoparticles into bag-like sacs. Their 'nanobatons' could be used to clean up oil spills by trapping oil droplets in polluted waters. These nanoparticles could even be more useful for delivering drugs. The researchers found that 'ultraviolet light and magnetic...

- Lensless camera for nanoscale imaging
- Australian and U.S. scientists have developed a lensless camera which uses X-rays to view nanoscale materials and biological specimens. As says one researcher, 'there is no lens involved at all; instead, a computer uses sophisticated algorithms to reconstruct the image.' Future microscopes equipped with these lensless cameras could be used...
