Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, together with international collaborators, have developed a new electron ...

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 ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

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

Researchers have developed a way to retrofit the transmission electron microscope -- a long-standing scientific workhorse for making crisp microscopic images -- so that it can also create high-quality ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

Scientists observed nuclear spin flips in a titanium atom lasting seconds, advancing quantum sensing and memory.

Scientists and engineers working at the frontier of nanotechnology face huge challenges. When the position of a single atom in a material may change the fundamental properties of that material, ...

Transmission electron microscopes are widely used in both physical and biological sciences for structural analyses, involving the projection of 3D objects into 2D images. The increasing need for 3D ...
