Physicists have built a microscope that is able to see up to 1,000 individual fermionic atoms. The researchers devised a laser-based technique to trap and freeze fermions in place, and image the ...

A new type of scanning transmission electron microscope is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms and see how those atoms bond to one another ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have been able to see the magnetic nucleus of an atom ...

However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been limited by a fundamental physical rule known as the diffraction limit, which prevents them from clearly seeing anything smaller than ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are developing an electron microscope image that can distinguish the individual, dumbbell-shaped atoms.

The latest aberration-corrected electron microscopes can resolve individual atom columns in a silicon crystal that are just 78 pm apart. How many students are told, perhaps during their first science ...

Clear view: ultracold lithium atoms as a band insulator. (Courtesy: Daniel Greif/Harvard University) Researchers in the US have taken images of individual atoms in an ultracold fermionic gas as it ...

UCLA researchers report in the April 30 edition of the journal Cell that they have imaged a virus structure at a resolution high enough to effectively “see” atoms, the first published instance of ...

A Kirkland company is pushing the scientific frontier by building electron microscopes capable of seeing and identifying every atom in thin sheets of material.

Researchers have developed an electron microscope image that can distinguish the individual, dumbbell-shaped atoms of a silicon crystal.

You won’t get resolution anywhere near this high with the sort of microscopes that you might have used in school. Those microscopes—like those that Robert Hooke used over 300 years ago to glimpse a ...

A new super powerful electron microscope that can pinpoint the position of single atoms was unveiled today at the Science and Technology Research Council's Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire. The ...
