New microscopy tool lets scientists see tiny light-emitting materials at ultra-cold temperatures
Researchers have built a specialized microscope that can observe nanomaterials while they're frozen to near absolute zero—a capability that's been missing from the toolkit. The advance could accelerate development of quantum computers, ultra-sensitive detectors, and other next-generation technologies that depend on manipulating light at the nanoscale.
