Some of the most important discoveries in materials science and structural biology come down to a simple question: Where, ...

What would it take to watch an electron move through a material? Researchers would need to see individual atoms and capture an electron's motion at incredibly short timescales. A Technion-led team has ...

From bespoke puppet faces to hand-applied feathers, the craftspeople behind the stop-motion feature explain how they build ...

Although both a SEM and a TEM are electron microscopes, their working principles and images are very different. Whereas an SEM uses secondary electrons ejected after bombarding a sample’s surface with ...

Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase-contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

A transmitting electron microscope (TEM) ready for operation (photo by Nikky on Adobe Stock). Research capabilities are expanding at the Franceschi Microscopy and Imaging Center (FMIC) thanks to the ...

Berkeley Lab scientists developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable for crystallography. By combining 4D-STEM with computational “virtual ...

In this video Microscopy Specialist takes a look at a vinyl record, stylus, and cartridge under a hugely powerful scanning electron microscope (SEM) with up to 100,000× magnification and ~10 nm ...
