Progress in nanotechnology depends on the capability to fabricate, position and interconnect nanometre-scale structures. A variety of materials and systems such as nanoparticles, nanowires, plasmonic ...

Due to the nature of light, a traditional optical microscope can be employed to attain a maximum magnification of around 800–1000x. For further magnification, scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can ...

More than 30 years after achieving atomic resolution with scanning probe microscopes, scientists remain endlessly fascinated with the ability to “see” and study individual atoms and molecules. For ...
