Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Researchers used advanced electron ptychography to visualize atomic-scale defects inside modern transistors. The technique ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...

A custom-designed electron cryomicroscope operating at 100 keV promises to minimize the expense and complexity of biological structure research. Although electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) has shown ...

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths ...
