A research team from the University of Michigan and Harvard University in the United States has developed a ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images ...

Scientists at Michigan State University have discovered how to use ultrafast lasers to wiggle atoms in exotic materials, temporarily altering their electronic behavior. By combining cutting-edge ...

All matter is made of very small units called atoms. Atoms are so small they cannot be seen using a regular microscope. Scientists have discovered a way to “see” atoms using a special instrument ...

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type ...

The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical ...

The researchers' novel approach could lead to smaller, and more efficient electronics – such as  smartphones – in the future.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) -- Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are peering into the atomic world with record clarity, developing an electron microscope image that can distinguish the individual, ...

He talks about setting the new record on resolution for electron microscopes: 0.6 angstrom. An angstrom is 100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. He says the resolution makes it ...
