During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Unlike Scanning Electron Microscopy that bounces electrons off the surface of a sample to produce an image, Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) shoot the electrons completely through the sample.

Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

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 ...

It may not have won an Oscar, but the tiny electron has finally made its film debut. A new video shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. This is ...

Researchers extend single-atom electron spin resonance with STM from atoms to molecules, opening the power of synthetic chemistry to engineer their quantum states. Scaling down information devices to ...
