Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

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 ...

EPFL scientists have made an important discovery about the structure of barium titanate, a material used in everyday objects. Their findings refute existing theories on the displacement of the ...

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

A new microscope method reveals details that were difficult to see before, helping researchers study proteins, cells, and ...

In this talk I will describe how combining ultrafast lasers and electron microscopes in novel ways makes it possible to directly ‘watch’ the time-evolving structure of condensed matter, both at the ...

Princeton scientists are peering into the smallest corners of matter using an exceptional collection of sophisticated microscopes — some so big they fill a room. These remarkable instruments have ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

M (MMM) on Thursday said it installed a scanning transmission electron microscope capable of imaging materials at the atomic ...

Light microscopy has been an indispensable tool for the structural study of the brain. Three-dimensional (3D) cellular scale imaging techniques that improve our understanding of the brain architecture ...

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 ...
