Entangled photons help to correct distortions in microscopes

The new method proposed by the researchers was able to improve upon the traditionally-used 'guide star' technique which identifies flaws using bright spots (Image: Pond5)

The researchers demonstrated their method for correcting microscope flaws by showing how entangled photons could correct and retrieve high-resolution images of biological test samples, which in this case were the mouthpiece and leg of a honeybee.

EU grants €700,000 to laser fusion optimisation project

A total of €375 million is available in funding, although most is reserved to support the economy in areas most affected by structural change, academic institutions can also apply for research and development project funding.
