A team of researchers at the University of Victoria (UVic) have achieved an advance in electron microscopy that will allow scientists to visualize atomic-scale structures with unprecedented clarity ...

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

Much like the traditional scanning electron microscope (SEM), the field emission scanning electron microscope uses electrons to illuminate a sample, instead of visible light as is used in optical ...

Unlike Scanning Electron Microscopy that bounces electrons off the surface of a sample to produce an image, Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) shoot the electrons completely through the sample.

Engineers have created the first working quantum bit based on a single atom in silicon, opening the way to ultra-powerful quantum computers of the future. Scientists were able to both read and write ...

It may not have won an Oscar, but the tiny electron has finally made its film debut. A new video shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. This is ...

A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and the University of Houston's Cullen College of Engineering has discovered and measured the ...

Once a photon has removed an electron from a helium atom, it is possible to calculate the probable position of the remaining electron. The likeliest position of the electron is shown in the image as ...

Since the FE-SEM is in effect an electrical circuit, the specimen must be conductive. In the tungsten source SEM, any nonconductive specimen is coated with a very thin layer of conductive material in ...
