Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

Scientists have built a microscope capable of visualizing optical responses at the scale of individual atoms, redefining the ...

Atoms are the building blocks of all matter, from the air we breathe to every cell in our bodies. Yet despite their presence everywhere, no one has truly seen an atom with the naked eye ,until ...

Behold, the world's fastest microscope: it works at such an astounding speed that it's the first-ever device capable of capturing a clear image of moving electrons. Developed by researchers at the ...

Quantum researchers cause controlled 'wobble' in the nucleus of a single atom Date: September 12, 2024 Source: Delft University of Technology Summary: Researchers have been able to initiate a ...

A traditional optical microscope can magnify objects by more than a thousand times, but scientists are often interested in even smaller things. Electron microscopy can make an object appear one ...

Measuring in at one tungsten atom, the specially-crafted tip used by the University's electron microscope is the pointiest thing mankind has ever created in his 10,000-year history of forging ...

All of these advantages, as well as the actual strikingly clear images, make the scanning electron microscope one of the most useful instruments in research today. How does a SEM work? Diagram ...
