At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

Engineers from the University of California San Diego have developed a new technology that lets ordinary microscopes see in higher resolution than previously possible. The new technology improves the ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

MADISON, Wis. – (January 21, 2014) – Materials scientists, engineers, and academic researchers can accelerate their research and understand materials in applications ranging from pharmaceutical ...

Scientists have developed a new microscope that significantly improves the way heat flow in materials can be measured. This advancement could lead to better designs for electronic devices and energy ...

Magnetism in two-dimensional materials is difficult to characterize because the materials’ extreme thinness renders conventional techniques ineffective. Researchers in Australia, Russia and China have ...

Figure 1. Ultrasound pulsed into a part by the scanning transducer is partly reflected by a well-bonded interface (at left); the remaining portion of the ultrasound travels deeper into the part. A gap ...
