Helium under the microscope. Currently, however, the researchers are studying and analysing a helium atom using photoionization microscopy, and a paper on this will be published in the coming months. ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single ...

Physicists in the US claim to have used a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to see a single hydrogen atom – the first time that a TEM has been used to image such a light atom. The breakthrough ...

TEAM 0.5 is the world's most powerful transmission electron microscope and is capable of producing images with half-angstrom resolution, less than the diameter of a single hydrogen atom.

This is not an artist’s rendering, nor a physics simulation. This device held together with hardware-store MDF and eyebolts and connected to a breadboard, is taking pictures of actual atomic … ...

Similar to an electron microscope, an atom microscope would work by bombarding the surface of a material with energetic particles. However, instead of using electrons, which could penetrate the ...

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, ... Related: Razor-thin crystalline film 'built atom-by-atom' gets electrons moving 7 times faster than in semiconductors.

Despite its homebrew appearance, this device, a scanning tunneling microscope, is one of the most extraordinary lab instruments of the last three decades. It can pick \[…\] Skip to main content ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab use the microscope to painstakingly map every single atom in a nanoparticle. Here, they surveyed a tiny iron platinum cluster under the microscope and ...
