Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Supraparticles are microscopic spheres composed of thousands ...

Scientists created a tiny matrix that stores data by etching its grid into a thin ceramic film with a focused ion beam.

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

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 1.98-square-micrometer QR code, etched into ceramic thin film and verified by Guinness, showcases a new approach to ...

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...

"The electron microscope has been used in hair research for half a century, but the knowledge gained through this study has become rather fragmented over the years. While the molecular biological ...

Under the microscope, plankton becomes an unlikely star as artist Jess Holz documents their movements to highlight both their ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) allow researchers at the forefront of energy technology to study next-generation ...

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new large-scale instrument worth €800,000. The Kiel research groups led by Professors Michael Bauer and Kai Rossnagel are using it to expand their ...
