On target A new method for precisely moving columns of individual atoms within a material could give rise to exotic quantum ...

The 2D materials comprise a single or double layer of atoms, so investigating their properties requires the use of electron microscopy. Point defects—such as missing atoms—can be instrumental in ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale ...

Using the latest in aberration-corrected electron microscopy, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and their colleagues have obtained the first images that ...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) is a key tool for the spectroscopic characterization of chemicals. It relies on resonantly changing the spin state of electrons (spin is an intrinsic quantum property of ...

Researchers have shown that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...
