Under the right conditions, 1g of oyster shells can capture and lock away up to around 1.5g of the rare earth elements ...

In situ nanoindentation within the SEM enables direct correlation of microstructure and mechanical properties.

A single gold nanorod, far smaller than a wavelength of visible light, can be coaxed into emitting circularly polarized ...

ORNL researcher David Cullen has been named a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America for significant contributions to ...

ZEISS has unveiled the new ZEISS Crossbeam 750 focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) that is optimized for demanding sample preparation. It provides a live, high-resolution “see ...

An electron microscopy image can capture atoms arranged in a crystal lattice or defects threading through a semiconductor material, but turning that image into materials insight can take weeks of ...

In 2005, few neuroscientists would have bet that electron microscopy could map entire neural circuits in three dimensions. The technique was slow and cumbersome, offering only thin slices of brain ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

Just how small can a QR code be? Small enough that it can only be recognized with an electron microscope. A research team at TU Wien, working together with the data storage technology company Cerabyte ...

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...
