At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

Ever since their discovery, quasicrystals have garnered much attention due to their strange structure. Today, they remain far from being well-understood. In a new study, scientists reveal, for the ...

The high-powered, “game-changing” microscopes use electrons rather than light to visualize the shape of samples at near-atomic resolution. Only recently have they become available to scientists in the ...

A new momentum microscopy experimental station for photoelectron spectroscopy resolved in 3D momentum space with a microscopic field of view has been built at BL6U of UVSOR *, Institute for Molecular ...

Electron microscopy is an exceptional tool for peering deep into the structure of isolated molecules. But when it comes to ...

The scanning-electron microscope was used to examine the cortical surface of 123 species of lichens in 12 genera of the lichen family Parmeliaceae. Two general types of cortex were found, one ...

(Nanowerk News) Between chemistry classes, gemstones, and electronics, the idea of crystals, substances with an ordered and periodic arrangement of atoms is quite common. But about 40 years ago, a ...
