Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...

University of Warwick and MIT scientists reveal hidden microscopic networks on catalyst surfaces that could lead to cleaner and greener chemical processes.

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. To ensure that the tissue ...

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 ...

Compared to traditional electron microscopy, it lowers both cost and technical barriers. "At the current resolution of the images—20 nanometers—synapses can already be identified. We managed to ...
