A few months ago, I've written about the most powerful microscope in the world which was able to display images at an incredible high-resolution of just 0.05 nanometer (or 50 picometers). It seems ...

Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet printers: They all produce or contain liquid droplets so tiny it would take several billion of them to fill a liter bottle. Measuring the volume, motion and contents ...

A DESCRIPTION of a small measuring microscope devised by us may be of interest to readers of NATURE. The optical elements are extremely simple, consisting of a Ramsden eyepiece having a scale, divided ...

Sub-Angstrom imaging has been a long-standing goal for electron microscopists because it would allow structures to be studied at the level of single atoms. Although sub-Angstrom information can be ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., June 20, 2016--Scientists can now detect magnetic behavior at the atomic level with a new electron microscopy technique developed by a team from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge ...

The scanning-tunneling microscope (STM), which is used to study changes in the shape of a single molecule at the atomic scale, impacts the ability of that molecule to make these changes, researchers ...

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Subscribe to our ...
