Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have built the first “microscope” probe that can produce 3D images of natural or engineered objects, zooming seamlessly from the macro- to the nano-scale. The probe already can be used in a variety of science and engineering fields, like monitoring the quality of computer chips.

New research combines sound and light waves in silicon chips to create a new type of signal processing.

New light-based hardware which can store and process information in a similar way to the human brain.
