Physicists in Leiden have developed a microscope that can assess four important features of a material in a single scan, all ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far from still. By squeezing terahertz light down to microscopic scales, a ...

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 ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

(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 ...

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 ...
