Electron tomography is a powerful imaging technique that enables the three-dimensional (3D) visualization and analysis of nanostructures at the atomic scale. By combining advanced electron microscopy ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

New research published in Joule from the Energy Storage Research Alliance (ESRA), University of Chicago Pritzker School of ...

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...

Observation of Live Ticks (Haemaphysalis flava) by Scanning Electron Microscopy under High Vacuum Pressure, PLoS One “Scanning electron microscopes (SEM), which image sample surfaces by scanning with ...

In a surprising new study, researchers have found that the electron beam radiation that they previously thought degraded crystals can actually repair cracks in these nanostructures. The groundbreaking ...

(Nanowerk News) In a surprising new study (Nature Communications, "Mending cracks atom-by-atom in rutile TiO2 with electron beam radiolysis"), researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities ...
