Scanning probe microscopes produce images based not on light, but on electron density and charge. Scientists are producing incredible images of tinyness heretofore visible only by means of an artist's ...

ABLASCAN, a plug-and-play microscope developed by French deep tech startup Ablatom, can reveal the atomic composition of materials in just milliseconds. Demonstrated at the ongoing CES 2025, the ...

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images ...

Larry Allard, principal scientist who helped pioneer the technology of the aberration-corrected electron microscope (ACEM) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory 20 years ago, will speak to Friends of ORNL ...

All matter is made of very small units called atoms. Atoms are so small they cannot be seen using a regular microscope. Scientists have discovered a way to “see” atoms using a special instrument ...

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 ...

Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it's like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone is ...
