Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Using short laser pulses, researchers have imaged the exact moment an ammonia molecule bends and sheds a hydrogen atom.

Nearly a century ago, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll provided the first demonstration of a microscope that could image specimens using electrons rather than light. The earliest images obtained via this ...

It is part of US plans to build a permanent base for humans to live on the lunar surface, and would be a huge help for future ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Researchers built autonomous robots the size of salt grains—with onboard computers, sensors, and motors that think and swim ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties. It is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. (Image: M ...

Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope. Neat... ==== Timeline ==== 0:00 Intro 0:27 How an SEM works 1:50 ...
