A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

In a material such as aluminum, these collections of grains (called microstructures) determine properties such as hardness. New research is helping scientists better understand how microstructures ...

The new microscope is a so-called multifocus microscope, which provides completely clear images, sorted into different layers, where you can study the cells from all angles. "It's a big deal. The fact ...

AZoMaterials speaks to Dr. Simon Bates and Dr. Angela Criswell about how X-ray CT imaging is transforming tablet design and quality control, revealing how microstructure drives dissolution, ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.
