A Korean research team has developed a near-field scanning optical microscope technology capable of observing structures as small as 50 nanometers (5/100,000,000 m). According to the Institute for ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the ...

These electron microscope images show how the crack in a crystal of titanium dioxide begins to "heal" with increasing electron doses. MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (10/12/2023)—In a surprising new study, ...

In an unexpected new study, scientists at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities discovered that electron beam radiation, which they had previously believed damaged crystals, might help mend fissures ...

Electron tomography is a powerful imaging technique that enables the three-dimensional (3D) visualization and analysis of nanostructures at the atomic scale. By combining advanced electron microscopy ...

(Nanowerk News) DNA nanotechnology, the research field using DNA molecules as building material, has developed rapidly during recent years and enabled the construction of increasingly complex ...

Scientists from the University of Twente and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in France have discovered a new method to non-destructively look inside three-dimensional (3-D) nanostructures ...

Physicists are working to produce engineered magnetic nanostructures and to tailor material properties at the nanoscale. The scientists use a special microscope to achieve this goal. This microscope's ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...
