Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) created a groundbreaking non-invasive, real-time microscope that captures molecular movement at the angstrom scale. This advanced microscope uses ultrafast laser pulses and a digital micromirror device (DMD), enabling it to film at hundreds of billions of frames per second. The innovation allows researchers to observe rapid molecular interactions with unprecedented clarity. While MIT, Stanford, and Harvard are leading research institutions, this specific breakthrough was achieved at Caltech. The development highlights Caltech’s contributions to cutting-edge scientific instrumentation and ultrafast imaging technologies.
