Optimizing the geometric parameters of polymer nanoantenna arrays significantly improves the performance of optical ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

With cutting-edge techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, he aims to deepen our understanding of material and use that knowledge to enhance their properties for advanced applications.

Transmission electron microscopy articles from across Nature Portfolio Transmission electron microscopy is a general type of electron microscopy that generates an image of the internal structure ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

Few predators swallow their prey whole. Even fewer can digest their meals with bones and all. But for some reptiles like the ...

A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is ...

The particles in the cells' crypts, the researchers determined, are excess to the snake's requirements once it has extracted all it needs from the completely dissolved bones. The purpose of the ...

Excitons have been created by injecting an electron into a molecule, and then removing another one, in rapid succession.

In the frozen reaches of the planet—glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater—scientists have uncovered strange ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...
