Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have observed the magnetic nucleus of an atom flipping ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have been able to see the magnetic nucleus of an atom switch back and forth in real time. They read out the nuclear "spin" via the ...

Seventy years ago, in Osmond Laboratory on Penn State's University Park campus, Erwin W. Müller, Evan Pugh Research Professor of Physics, became the first person to "see" an atom. In doing so, Müller ...

At many universities, student researchers rarely get the chance to even see a transmission electron microscope, or TEM, up ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single hydrogen ...

Physicists have performed the first quantum calculations to be carried out using individual atoms sitting on a surface. At some level, everything in nature is quantum and can, in principle, perform ...

Researchers at Michigan State University have figured out how to use a fast laser to wiggle atoms in a way that temporarily ...

A group of scientists from Nagoya University in Japan used a novel combination of technologies to investigate the principles of light–matter interaction in nanomaterials at the lowest and fastest ...
