Women in physics network, mentor at conference

About 140 undergraduates and 40 invited guests attended the Northeast Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics, Jan. 18-20.

Three-photon microscopy improves biological imaging

Researchers have demonstrated a new way of taking high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the brain's inner workings by improving on the depth limits of multiphoton microscopy.

Intrinsic superconductor behavior revealed

Scientists have verified that superconductors called cuprates respond differently when adding versus removing electrons from them, resolving a central issue about their most basic properties.

Cassini suggests ice floats on a Saturn moon

A new model by scientists working on NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn finds that hydrocarbon ice could float on lakes on Saturn's largest moon.
