Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

In hydrogen production catalysts, water droplets must detach easily from the surface to prevent blockage by bubbles, allowing for faster hydrogen generation. In semiconductor manufacturing, the ...

Atomic force microscopy faces enduring challenges in imaging speed, accuracy, and automated analysis as microstructure characterization becomes increasingly critical across materials science and ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

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 ...

Applications have opened for certain Air Force reservists to join the Space Force under its new one-of-a-kind, part-time service model, but advocates for a Space National Guard have pointed out the ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...
