What have you missed on Hackaday this week? Elliot Williams and Al Williams compare notes on their favorites from the week, and you are invited. The guys may have said too much about the Supercon ...

This is not an artist’s rendering, nor a physics simulation. This device held together with hardware-store MDF and eyebolts and connected to a breadboard, is taking pictures of actual atomic ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. ABLASCAN, a plug-and-play microscope developed by French deep tech startup Ablatom, can reveal the atomic composition of materials ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...

Assistant Professor Julian Léonard at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Léonard explains how his group can view the quantum interactions between individual atoms under an optical ...

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type ...

Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

ABLASCAN, a plug-and-play microscope developed by French deep tech startup Ablatom, can reveal the atomic composition of materials in just milliseconds. Demonstrated at the ongoing CES 2025, the ...
