Semiconductor chips have traditionally been manufactured in two dimensions. But as devices become more powerful and compact, ...

The technology, called Single-Molecule Atomic-Resolution Time-resolved Electron Microscopy (SMART-EM for short), lets scientists observe individual atoms and molecules as they interact during chemical ...

The approach uses lasers and holograms to detect misalignments as small as 0.017 nanometers. Researchers at the University of ...

That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or silver move more or less freely from one atom to the next ... with electrons as they ripple through a metal—a quantum property ...

And through that we discover an entirely ... And you can imagine—this instrument called scanning tunneling microscope was used—when they looked at an atom and saw it using this very sharp ...

and a neighboring carbon atom is missing, creating a special configuration of quantum spin states. In a nitrogen-vacancy center microscope, the defect reacts to static and fluctuating magnetic ...

Concentrating light in a volume as small as the wavelength itself is a challenge that is crucial for numerous applications.

Sperm Racing is exactly what it sounds like, and the founders are betting that people will want to wager on the microscopic ...

That might sound familiar because good sunglasses are polarized, so they only let light that is vibrating in one plane through to your eye, thus reducing the exposure of sunlight to your relatively ...
