The 2D materials comprise a single or double layer of atoms, so investigating their properties requires the use of electron microscopy. Point defects—such as missing atoms—can be instrumental in ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

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 team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Oak ...

Since the first transmission electron microscope was sold in 1935, microscopes that use electrons--rather than light waves--to image objects have brought into focus levels of detail that were ...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) is a key tool for the spectroscopic characterization of chemicals. It relies on resonantly changing the spin state of electrons (spin is an intrinsic quantum property of ...

It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of ...

Researchers have shown that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...
