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 ...

A team of physicists in the Netherlands and Germany recently placed a bunch of titanium atoms under a scanning tunneling microscope. Those atoms were in constant, quiet interaction with each other ...

The joint development team of Professor Shibata (the University of Tokyo), JEOL Ltd. and Monash University succeeded in directly observing an atomic magnetic field, the origin of magnets (magnetic ...

The scientists could observe spatially resolved the molecule with the help of a self-build ion microscope. When single particles like atoms and ions bond, molecules emerge. Such bonds between to ...

Gerd Binnig shared The Kavli Prize in Nanoscience in 2016 for inventing the atomic force microscope. What transformative impact has this invention had on nanoscience? This podcast was produced for The ...

TOKYO, Jul 4, 2024 - (JCN Newswire) - - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, Hitachi), Kyushu University, RIKEN, and HREM Research Inc. (HREM) today announced the world's first observation of magnetic fields of ...

Forget megapixel count. A device being created by the Department of Energy will be able to show things smaller than hydrogen atoms. Photos: Nanotech visions Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET ...

A breakthrough in using electron microscopes could lead to smaller circuits or more efficient chipmaking processes because designers will know better what happens when molecules meet. Michael Kanellos ...

The observation was conducted using the newly developed Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM (MARS) (1). This team had already succeeded in observing the electric field inside atoms for the ...

When single particles like atoms and ions bond, molecules emerge. Such bonds between to particles can arise if they have for example opposite electrical charges and hence attract each other. The ...

Scientists have observed atomic magnetic fields, the origin of magnetic forces, for the first time using an innovative Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM they developed. The joint development ...
