Larry Allard, principal scientist who helped pioneer the technology of the aberration-corrected electron microscope (ACEM) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory 20 years ago, will speak to Friends of ORNL ...

When we were in school, they always told us we can’t see atoms. If you have an electron microscope, then they were wrong. [AlphaPhoenix] has access to a scanning tunneling transmission electron ...

Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing ...

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 ...

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images ...

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 ...

A breakthrough in using electron microscopes could lead to smaller circuits or more efficient chipmaking processes because designers will know better what happens when molecules meet. Michael Kanellos ...

This story originally featured on Popular Science. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists invented the first electron microscope, has taken yet another step. “This is the ...

Real-time microscopy and AI reveal how atomic wetting controls tin oxide nanowire growth inside carbon nanotubes, uncovering ...
