Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase-contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Electron microscopy represents a cornerstone of modern scientific inquiry, providing unparalleled insights into the structure and properties of matter at the nanoscale. Its foundational principle—the ...

Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...

Scientists are combining an electron microscope with a quantum computer to squeeze far more information from each electron. The approach could reveal faint details with fewer electrons, helping ...

Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

In an unexpected finding, researchers have discovered bacteria present inside the most common type of kidney stone, revealing a previously unrecognized component involved in their formation. The ...
