Biofinder detected biological residues in fish fossils. (Courtesy: Misra, et al., 2022) A highly sensitive instrument has picked up strong bio-fluorescence signals from fossilized organisms that ...

For Northwestern researchers operating sensitive instruments, a sudden vibration from nearby construction of the Kellogg Education Center could mean lost time and compromised data collection.

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a highly sensitive new tool that amplifies incredibly faint signals by 1,000 times, achieving a 50-fold improvement over previous methods.

Get ready to expand and simplify your workflow with a linear dynamic range of up to six orders magnitude. Move your workflow to this highly sensitive instrument and quickly see measurable gains in ...

The human fingertip is an exquisitely sensitive instrument for perceiving objects in our environment via the sense of touch. A team of Chinese scientists has mimicked the underlying perceptual ...

Finding more minuscule worlds with the latest, highly sensitive instruments could open up a new way of understanding how planets form — and which ones could be habitable for life. “When ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

Wang calls the instrument a Cryogenic Magneto-Terahertz Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope. (That’s cm-SNOM for short.) It’s based at the Ames National Laboratory’s Sensitive Instrument Facility ...

It’s weak. It’s faint. It can barely register on even the most sensitive of instruments. But it contains a wealth of information about the formation of the first stars, the first galaxies ...
