A team of researchers at the University of Iowa has created a new infrared cryo microscope. The homemade microscope was created to enable the recent study aimed at deepening the understanding of ...

Measuring how heat moves through materials is crucial for developing efficient electronics and energy devices. For example, better heat management can lead to faster and more reliable computers, as ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light. Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz ...

Engineers from the University of California San Diego have developed a new technology that lets ordinary microscopes see in higher resolution than previously possible. The new technology improves the ...

Europe's most precise electron microscope is now in use in Sweden. The 80-300 transmission electron microscope has been adjusted so it now provides a resolution of less than 0.7 Å (about half the ...

Magnetism in two-dimensional materials is difficult to characterize because the materials’ extreme thinness renders conventional techniques ineffective. Researchers in Australia, Russia and China have ...

Figure 1. Ultrasound pulsed into a part by the scanning transducer is partly reflected by a well-bonded interface (at left); the remaining portion of the ultrasound travels deeper into the part. A gap ...

At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

Scientists have developed a new microscope that significantly improves the way heat flow in materials can be measured. This advancement could lead to better designs for electronic devices and energy ...
