Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

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 ...

By creating a very precise platinum-carbon duplicate of the fracture plane, these features may be seen under the electron microscope. Historical Origins and Development For more than 50 years, ...

(Nanowerk News) The migration of carbon atoms on the surface of the nanomaterial graphene was recently measured for the first time. Although the atoms move too swiftly to be directly observed with an ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are 1D tube-like structures with nanometric diameters and micrometric length. A carbon nanotube is made by the concentric rolling up of one or more graphene layers. These ...

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bruker today announced that it has acquired Nion, a privately-held company that develops and manufactures innovative high-end scanning transmission electron ...

A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions. It was ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than the atom's width—is comparable to an ocean wave. The light wave can dwarf an ...
