In reality, many of us don't really have a need for fancy microscopes that can cost millions of dollars and zoom in enough ...

An atom microscope could be useful in many applications, such as discovering better catalysts for faster chemical reactions. That's because the performance of a catalyst is heavily dependent upon the ...

World's Best Microscope Can Produce Images Less Than Diameter Of Single Hydrogen Atom Date: January 23, 2008 Source: DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Summary: The first of two advanced ...

World’s Fastest Electron Microscope, Quantum Consciousness and the Origin of Life Host Erika Hamden explores quantum mysteries. We visit a University of Arizona lab where the world’s fastest ...

Cornell engineers developed a microscopy technique precise enough to pinpoint individual atoms and watch as they vibrate.

The ultrasoft 'tip' of the cold-atom scanning probe microscope will offer new possibilities for exploring the interactions between atoms and surfaces.

A Kirkland company is pushing the scientific frontier by building electron microscopes capable of seeing and identifying every atom in thin sheets of material.

The QUASAR group at the University of Liverpool has been awarded funding from Innovate UK to develop a new type of microscope for non-destructive imaging of delicate structures. Building on the team’s ...

The microscope incorporates new aberration-correction technology designed by Krivanek that focuses a beam of electrons on a spot smaller than a single atom -- more sharply and with greater ...

Researchers at Leti, a CEA Tech institute, recently developed an electron holography technique capable of imaging material structures with a spatial ...

The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light collected in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) experiments changes when the tip is placed on an atomic step.
