During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

Electron microscopy combined with X-ray microanalysis represents a pivotal suite of techniques that have transformed research in materials science, physics and engineering. Utilizing focused beams of ...

For all its possibilities, nature tends to replay one particular scene over and over again: the confrontation between matter and light. It stages the scene in a practically infinite number of ways, ...

Electron capture processes in ion–atom collisions constitute a critical phenomenon in understanding the interplay between charged particles and neutral atoms. In these collisions, an ion may capture ...

Researchers extend single-atom electron spin resonance with STM from atoms to molecules, opening the power of synthetic chemistry to engineer their quantum states. Scaling down information devices to ...
