Have you ever wondered what makes shark skin so tough and sleek? It's dermal denticles—tiny, tooth-like structures that cover a shark's skin. Made of the same material as teeth and shaped like small ...

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.

If you want to build semiconductors at home, it seems like the best place to start might be to find a used scanning electron microscope on eBay. At least that’s how [Peter Bosch] kicked off his ...

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

Cells are tiny, so we use microscopes to see their details. A slide is a thin piece of glass used to hold objects which are examined under a microscope. Peel a thin layer of cells from an onion. Place ...
