Larry Allard, principal scientist who helped pioneer the technology of the aberration-corrected electron microscope (ACEM) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory 20 years ago, will speak to Friends of ORNL ...

Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

When we were in school, they always told us we can’t see atoms. If you have an electron microscope, then they were wrong. [AlphaPhoenix] has access to a scanning tunneling transmission electron ...

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 ...

A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions. It was ...

Coatings are required to remove or diminish the electrical charges that promptly accumulate in a nonconducting material when examined by a high-energy electron beam. Material samples investigated at ...
