Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

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 ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Electron microscopy enables researchers to visualize tiny objects such as viruses, the fine structures of semiconductor devices, and even atoms arranged on a material surface. Focusing ...

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 ...

Researchers have proposed a new method to form an electron lens that will help reduce installation costs for electron microscopes with atomic resolution, proliferating their use. Instead of the ...
