Physics: Scientists capture the highest EVER resolution images of atoms

Researchers have broken the record for the highest resolution image ever captured of individual atoms, creating a shot that is ‘zoomed in’ some 100 million times. These images are so fine-tuned, in fact, that the blurring remaining in the shot is the product solely of the thermal jiggling of the atoms themselves. The breakthrough by … Read more

NASA takes the world on a tour of Mars using Perseverance’s high resolution panorama

NASA gave the world a tour of Mars using the high resolution 360-degree panorama Perseverance sent back from the Red Planet. The rover captured the scene using its powerful Mast Camera Mastcam-Z for short, as it sat about one and a half miles from the basin of the Jezero Crater with mountains in the distance … Read more

Scientists capture the highest resolution images of a single MOLECULE of DNA

The highest resolution images of a single molecule of DNA ever captured have been taken by a team of scientists, and they show atoms ‘dancing’ as they twist and writhe. Researchers from Sheffield, Leeds and York universities combined advanced atomic microscopy with supercomputer simulations to create videos of the molecules. The resolution combined with the … Read more

Photographer captures highest resolution shots of snowflakes ever

A renowned photographer has captured the highest resolution shots of snowflakes ever using a homemade prototype described as one part microscope and one part camera.  Nathan Myhrvold, an American scientist, inventor, photographer and ex-chief technology officer of Microsoft, took 18 months to build the 100 megapixel camera capable of capturing a snowflake’s microscopic detail. Using the camera, … Read more
