Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

In order to increase our understanding of structural dynamics of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, they would need to be captured at the sub-nanometer scale and in physiologically relevant ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Scientists have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that 'feels' the atoms at a surface. The method ...

The above image is a photo of a pentacene molecule. Not a drawing. A photo. Taken by researchers at IBM’s Zurich lab. The tip of this microscope employs one oxygen atom bonded to one carbon atom. It’s ...

Using advanced microscopy coupled with novel computer simulations to track atomic movement, researchers conducted real-time atomic-level observations of grain boundary deformation in poly-grained ...

HILLSBORO, Ore., May 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FEI Company (Nasdaq:FEIC), a leading instrumentation company providing systems for research and industry, today announced that it is extending its ...

Kazutomo Suenaga (Prime Senior Researcher) of the Nanomaterials Research Institute and collaborators have succeeded in visualizing light elements including lithium at the precision level of individual ...

The highest-ever resolution imaging of an infectious prion provides the first atomic-level data of how these abnormal proteins are assembled to cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in people and ...

Very few of you have used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), an essential tool to study nanoscience. And you might think that it's as easy to take a picture of an atom with an STM as it is to take ...
