A new momentum microscopy experimental station for photoelectron spectroscopy resolved in 3D momentum space with a microscopic field of view has been built at BL6U of UVSOR *, Institute for Molecular ...

(Nanowerk News) Between chemistry classes, gemstones, and electronics, the idea of crystals, substances with an ordered and periodic arrangement of atoms is quite common. But about 40 years ago, a ...

Researchers have built an upgraded quantum microscope that can map momentum-resolved tunneling spectra in graphene at room temperature and extract signatures consistent with electron–electron ...

The scanning-electron microscope was used to examine the cortical surface of 123 species of lichens in 12 genera of the lichen family Parmeliaceae. Two general types of cortex were found, one ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

The first major benefit of confocal microscopes is the level of detail which can be achieved. With an already impressive horizontal resolution of 0.2 microns and vertical resolution of 0.5 confocal ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

Ever since their discovery, quasicrystals have garnered much attention due to their strange structure. Today, they remain far from being well-understood. In a new study, scientists reveal, for the ...
