A 1.98-square-micrometer QR code, etched into ceramic thin film and verified by Guinness, showcases a new approach to ultra-dense, long-term data storage.

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each ...

Researchers at TU Wien in Vienna have created a QR code so small it can only be read with an electron microscope. The code measures roughly 1.98 square micrometers, with individual pixels about 49 ...

Just how small can a QR code be? Small enough that it can only be recognized with an electron microscope. A research team at TU Wien, working together with the data storage technology company Cerabyte ...

St. Louis, Mo. (June 9, 2014) – With a new molecular imaging system powerful enough to peer down to 20-micrometer resolution, researchers can now use radioluminescence to examine the characteristics ...

Usually, catalytic reactions are analyzed by checking which chemicals go into a chemical reactor and which come out. But as it turns out, in order to properly understand and optimize catalysts, much ...

Accurate measurement results depend on regular microscope calibration to ensure consistency and reliability across scientific and industrial use.

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...
