In a basement lab in Brandeis' Rosenstiel building, a refrigerator-sized microscope dominates a small, windowless room. On ...

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: ...

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 aged care facility in Queensland, Australia, has launched what it describes as the ...

Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope.

Analysis revealed that in acetone, adsorbed gold atoms were mostly isolated particles. The researchers suggest that this is ...

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.

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 ...

With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

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