Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) have been advancing our knowledge of the very small for nearly 100 years. Since their advent, they have helped scientists see structures as small as individual ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications ...

The left side of the figure schematically shows how a series of two-dimensional scanning electron microscopy images of an ultrafine-grained Nd-Fe-B magnet were transformed into a three-dimensional ...

Permanent magnets, the kind found on refrigerators everywhere, exist because their constituent atoms behave as miniature magnets. They align and combine to form the larger magnet in a phenomenon ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
