Image of crushed up ore from the quantum microscope. Researchers can determine which ores are present in crushed up rocks and colour-code them to distinguish waste from good ore. Driving along rural ...

Due to the lack of objectivity of electron microscope focusing in traditional manual focusing, resulting in inaccurate image focusing, this paper proposes a high-precision focusing method for electron ...

Two new open-source tools are set to make fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy—or FLIM—faster, simpler and more ...

Recent physics studies have found that light can sometimes flow in unexpected ways, behaving like a so-called "superfluid." ...

A new approach breaks down complicated designs into modular building blocks for easy assembly from the bottom up.

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to unlock molecular mysteries.

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

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

Automating the analysis portion of materials characterization by electron microscopy (EM) has the potential to accelerate the process of scientific discovery. To this end, we present a Bayesian ...

Dual-damascene copper metallization has been the mainstream technology of forming interconnections for IC devices. Defect formation during Cu metallization is one of main yield-limiting factors in IC ...
