Traditional ultrasonic imaging systems usually transmit broadband ultrasonic pulses through the full sample volume under study. By analyzing these pulses, researchers can measure sample thickness, ...

Using a combination of spectromicroscopy at BESSY II and microscopic analyses at DESY's NanoLab, a team has gained new insights into the chemical behavior of nanocatalysts during catalysis. The ...

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an advanced in vivo tissue imaging technique that combines optical and acoustic approaches to overcome the optical diffusion limit. It can produce images with great ...

SAM uses high-frequency ultrasound to inspect and characterise internal features of materials, detecting cracks, voids, inclusions, and delaminations that could compromise performance. SAM is a ...

Abstract: The reliability of integrated circuit (IC) packages depends in many respects on their mechanical integrity. The effect of structural weaknesses caused by poor bonding, voids, microcracks or ...

If you want to build semiconductors at home, it seems like the best place to start might be to find a used scanning electron microscope on eBay. At least that’s how [Peter Bosch] kicked off his ...

Thermo Scientific Iliad integrates electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and NanoPulser electrostatic beam blanker to improve insights at the atomic level WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thermo ...

Researchers at University of California Davis (UC Davis) have designed a new laser-scanning approach to microscopy that is expected to open doors to brain-imaging in mouse models with improved speed ...

Hybrid bonding—a significant advancement in chip packaging technology—is becoming vital in heterogeneous integration, which enables semiconductor companies to merge multiple chiplets with diverse ...
