Ice in nature is surrounded by liquid most of the time, and therefore it is key to understand how ice and liquid interact. A new study has now directly observe the precise shape of ice at the ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire ...

Researchers have invented an entirely new field of microscopy -- nuclear spin microscopy. The team can visualize magnetic signals of nuclear magnetic resonance with a microscope. Quantum sensors ...

“Through various trial and error processes, we found that we had to cool the entire microscope system in a cooling box, and it took some ingenuity to ensure that ...

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 ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has electrified the field of experimental structural biology. Instead of painfully working out just the right conditions to force protein molecules into crystals, researchers ...
