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 ...

Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...

Canada is too-often the overlooked member of North America. But, as it turns out, they're doing all sorts of interesting things up there. The University of Alberta's National Institute of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The cryo-electron microscope is a modern marvel of a machine that allows scientists to look at how proteins and viruses are built atom by atom. And it’s so important to the ...

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 ...

Graphene could transform everything from electric cars to smartphones, but only if we can guarantee its quality. The ...

Thanks to advanced image acquisition and automated aberration correction techniques, researchers managed to measure magnetic fields in Ba 2 FeMoO 6 at a groundbreaking resolution of 0.47 nm for a ...

Coatings are required to remove or diminish the electrical charges that promptly accumulate in a nonconducting material when examined by a high-energy electron beam. Material samples investigated at ...
