Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...

Expanding our understanding of a particular process, material, or mechanism usually requires taking a close look at what is going on. Researchers in Japan have now observed the nanoscale behavior of ...

This is an exciting time for polymer electron microscopy. Recent improvements in instrumentation are pushing resolution limits to remarkable new heights, achieving imaging at 0.5 Å, while dual beam ...

“Materials scientists designing a polymer-based material for a specific application must analyze how and why all these factors come together to impact the final product. Understanding the structure ...
