Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

A new electron microscope has been developed that can take images of materials at angstrom-scale (one-tenth of a nanometer) resolution, about the size of a single hydrogen atom. Images will be ...

Microscopes have long been scientists' eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal correlations among the "free-range" particles that until now were predicted but never ...

A new atom holography microscope uses a focused SEM beam to map 3D atomic arrangements in nanoscale regions with about 0.1 angstrom accuracy. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Japan’s Institute for ...

A new atom camera uses one ultracold rubidium atom to map light intensity and polarization with spatial resolution below 100 nanometers. (Nanowerk News) Researchers in Japan have turned a single, ...
