The use of artificial intelligence has enabled researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to gain a greater ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...

An in-situ microscopy technique has allowed chemists to study how gold atoms adsorb on graphene in a range of solvents, ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with members from Sweden, the U.K. and the U.S. has used a transmission electron microscope to discover the secrets behind how nanowires used to make semiconductors ...

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

Over the past few years we’ve seen several impressive projects where people try to manufacture integrated circuits using hobbyist tools. One of the most complex parts of this process is lithography: ...

Few standard optical microscopy methods can achieve the same level of spatial resolution, which is essential for being able to resolve geometric and structural features on the nanometer length scale.

A team of physicists has done something that sounds impossible: they filmed points of absolute darkness racing through a beam ...

Researchers have shown that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios ...
