The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding.

We can see the virus here thanks to cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), an extremely cool imaging technique that lets ...

A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and the University of ...

From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single hydrogen ...

Researchers extend single-atom electron spin resonance with STM from atoms to molecules, opening the power of synthetic chemistry to engineer their quantum states. Scaling down information devices to ...

Because the electron beam spot is so fine, the patterns reached scales of only a few hundreds of nanometers across. That ...

When most of us picture an atom, we think about a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by one or more electrons. We view these electrons as point-like while rapidly orbiting the nucleus.
