Picturing the data: Scientists get new glimpses at the microscopic — and the cosmic
In science, a picture is worth a thousand data points. And recently, our glimpses at two very different worlds got much, much clearer. Player utilities For starters, scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a method for adding color to the meticulous images created by electron microscopes — which magnify specimens by millions of times, until now only in black and white. Also on the subject of amazing imagery — but on a much larger scale — researchers with NASA’s New Horizons mission just finished collecting the most detailed images of Pluto ever, sent by the spacecraft across 3 billion miles of deep space. Nick Stockton reported on both milestones for Wired. In his piece on the new electron microscope technology, he writes that until now, looking for a…
