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 ...

A new experimental technique has recently been developed for characterizing small dislocation loops in the electron microscope by collecting elastic diffuse scattering patterns in the vicinity of ...

One of the greatest challenges in designing electronics is drawing very fine details. You normally need lithography, which complicates the process by requiring masks. However, Oak Ridge National ...

Scientists at Auburn University created a new type of material where electrons can move freely across a solid surface. By arranging these electrons in different patterns, the material could one day be ...

Yale physicist Leonid Glazman has developed a quantitative theory to explain the effect of quantum and thermal fluctuations of charge in tiny “electron puddles” for a study reported in the journal ...

The groundbreaking discovery could open new doors for other researchers working with delicate materials such as cell membranes. (Nanowerk News) Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living ...

(Nanowerk News) In their new study ("Electron Vortices in Photoionization by Circularly Polarized Attosecond Pulses"), physicists Anthony Starace and Jean Marcel Ngoko Djiokap report an unusual ...

Direct-write patterning of biomolecules at micrometre and nanometre length scales has the potential to enable pattern generation with fewer fabrication steps. In addition, direct-write approaches ...

A non-destructive method for scanning electron microscopy allows individual developing flower surfaces to be imaged sequentially. Kinematic analysis, the quantitative characterization of expansion ...

Toward a new kind of superconductivity: In the past four years scientists have discovered metals whose crystal structure mimics that of a traditional Japanese woven bamboo pattern: kagome metals. The ...
