It's one thing to produce nanoscale devices, but it's another to study and improve on them — they're so small they can't reflect enough light to get a good look. A breakthrough might make that possible, however. UC Riverside researchers have built technology that squeezes tungsten lamp light into a 6-nanometer spot at the end of a silver nanowire. That lets scientists produce color imaging at an "unprecedented" level, rather than having to settle for molecular vibrations. The developers modified an existing "superfocusing" tool (already used to measure vibrations) to detect signals across the entire visible spectrum. Light travels in a flashlight-like conical path. When the nanowire's tip passes over an object, the system records that item's influence on the beam shape and color (including through a spectrometer). With two pieces of specrtra for every 6nm pixel, the team can create color photos of carbon nanotubes that would otherwise appear...

Roomy camper van outhustles Winnebago for off-road RVing domination

The Tiffin GH1 all-terrain camper van was one of the most pleasant RV surprises of 2024. Designed much like a Winnebago Revel but with a few signature tricks up its sleeve, the GH1 hit the market with a sticker price over US$55,000 lower than Winnebago's well-established AWD camper. Now Tiffin is moving up to Winnebago's pricing ballpark, albeit with a stretched Sprinter AWD camper van that offers more space for a comparable base price.
