The ability to achieve spatial resolutions that are greater than is possible in standard optical microscopy is what makes electron microscopy so important for the investigation of nanoscale structures ...

Scientists sealed tiny pockets of liquid between graphene sheets to capture atomic-resolution videos of gold atoms moving at ...

Scientists can now reliably chill specimens near absolute zero for over 10 hours while taking images resolved to the level of individual atoms with an electron microscope. The new capability comes ...

A team led by scientists at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester has developed the first ...

Through a combination of smarter material choices and machine learning techniques, a team led by Sarah Haigh at the University of Manchester showed how these graphene “nano-aquariums” can work with ...

This article has been updated in January 2024. High resolution images of microscopic samples can be obtained experimentally using Scanning Electron Transmission Microscopy (STEM). It is an effective ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. Scientists can now reliably chill ...
