A team of physicists has experimentally uncovered what electrons do during quantum tunneling, revealing a surprising internal ...

A team of researchers led by the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA has discovered a powerful new way to combine magnets with semiconductors—the materials that form the core of computers, ...

Plants, with their unique immune systems, sometimes launch 'autoimmune responses' by mistakenly identifying their own protein ...

To separate geometry from chemistry, we converted snapshots from the microscope into a computer model using a 3D Voronoi network – a pattern that mimics the walls between bubbles in a foam. Think of ...

Radiation damage remains the principal limitation in achieving higher resolution in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), ...

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam ...

Electron microscopes are some of the most powerful tools in science, allowing us to capture images at a scale so tiny that we can observe individual atoms! Unlike traditional light microscopes ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, introduced a groundbreaking transmission electron microscope to a packed room of a ...

Next, what’s known as an optical gating pulse initiates, allowing an infinitesimal timeframe for a one-attosecond electron pulse to then emit from the microscope.

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave.
