A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...

Physicists have experimentally confirmed a strange prediction: the dark “holes” inside light waves can appear to move faster ...

To capture a crisp image of a hummingbird in flight, which can flap its wings up to 200 times per second, a photographer ...

Using light to measure ever-smaller objects has been central to progress in many scientific disciplines for centuries. As far back as 1873, German physicist Ernst Abbe proved that light diffraction ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

An international team of researchers built a highly sensitive quantum microscope and used it to directly observe, for the first time at room temperature, how electrons subtly interact with each other ...

With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...
