Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new microscope that significantly improves the way heat flow in materials can be measured. This advancement could lead to better designs for electronic devices and energy ...

(Nanowerk News) Australian researchers and their colleagues from Russia and China have shown that it is possible to study the magnetic properties of ultrathin materials directly, via a new microscopy ...

MADISON, Wis. – (January 21, 2014) – Materials scientists, engineers, and academic researchers can accelerate their research and understand materials in applications ranging from pharmaceutical ...

A team of scientists has developed a new characterization tool that allowed the scientists to gain unique insight into a possible alternative material for solar cells. A team of scientists from the ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

Raman microscopy combines optical microscopy with the ability to determine the chemical makeup of surfaces. Laser light is delivered to the sample surface via the same objective as the optical light ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...
