CRUISING AT about half the speed of light, tightly focused beams of electrons pass through thin slices of materials and carry away subtle information about the substance's structure and composition.

Nanotechnology is the study and management of matter at extremely small sizes, about one to 100 nanometers. The technology has come a long way, being utilized in various industries. Usually, many ...

Michigan Tech’s new Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope lets researchers zoom in to understand the big picture at the atomic scale. Housed in a specially constructed brick building at the south ...

Microscopy techniques have been around for many decades and are always improving. The field itself has had to improve because the samples being analyzed have been getting smaller and smaller, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The electron microscope has been humanity’s most important magnifying glass, since the first electron lens was invented in 1926 by Hans Busch. Just five years later, the first ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has long played a central role in structural characterisation for material scientists. Bombarding the surface of a material with a beam of electrons and detecting ...

Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.

Before and after: example of image denoising as applied to atomic resolution imaging of a gold nanoparticle. On the left is the original experimental data as captured. On the right is the same image ...
