This picture is composed of 4,225 scanning electron microscope images. It shows a microchip based on 65-nanometre technology. This means that the smallest structure on the chip that can be reliably ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

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 ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

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 ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

AFM is commonly used to characterize nanoparticles, which include valuable data related to their qualitative and quantitative properties. For instance, it provides information about the physical ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

In a quiet lab at Argonne National Laboratory, Saw-Wai Hla and his team were huddled around their instruments late one night when they detected the spectral signature they had been searching for. The ...
