The smallest of those distances was just 0.1 nanometres – the width of a typical atom. The fluorescent ruler also gave accurate measurements up to about 12 nanometres, meaning it had a broader ...

The study shows that, when brewing tea, polypropylene releases approximately 1.2 billion particles per milliliter, with an average size of 136.7 nanometres; cellulose releases about 135 million ...

It now appears that there is no fundamental limit in achieving spatial resolution; using visible light, it is possible to resolve up to a few nanometres with these approaches. To celebrate these ...

This breakthrough surpassed the previous limits of fluorescence microscopy, which has a spatial resolution of onlyabout 6 nanometres. Raman imaging is able to achieve ultrahigh spatial resolution ...
