Getting an up-close view of life at the cellular level can be as simple as placing onion skin under a microscope and adjusting the knobs. Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn't as ...

Construction plan of the Plasma-X-FEL. Credit: University of Strathclyde / Science Communication Lab Ice-cold electron beams simulated in research at the University of Strathclyde could pave the way ...

When it comes to making groundbreaking discoveries in particle physics, scientists rely on large particle accelerators to conduct advanced experiments. These powerful machines use long tracks and ...

The hybrid technology developed at Fraunhofer FEP uses a low-energy electron beam source that is coupled to a bioreactor, allowing biological processes to be positively influenced in real time by ...

(Nanowerk News) The precise control of electron beams in so-called transmission electron microscopes (TEM) makes it possible to analyze materials or molecules at the atomic level. Combined with short ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

If you want to build semiconductors at home, it seems like the best place to start might be to find a used scanning electron microscope on eBay. At least that’s how [Peter Bosch] kicked off his ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths ...
