How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

The use of artificial intelligence has enabled researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to gain a greater ...

Our ability to image the subatomic realm is limited, not just by resolution, but also by speed. The constituent particles that make up – and fly free from – atoms can, in theory, move at speeds ...

A team of physicists has done something that sounds impossible: they filmed points of absolute darkness racing through a beam ...

A new imaging technique uncovers how electronic patterns in quantum materials evolve unevenly across space and temperature.

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...

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

Electron microscopy combined with X-ray microanalysis represents a pivotal suite of techniques that have transformed research in materials science, physics and engineering. Utilizing focused beams of ...

According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios ...
