Learn about how Mark Raizen and his team at UT Austin have developed the world's highest resolution atom lens. An atom lens is analogous to a glass lens used in an optical microscope or magnifying ...

A collaborative research group led by Hiroshi Daimon, a specially appointed research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, has developed an ...

A new atom holography microscope uses a focused SEM beam to map 3D atomic arrangements in nanoscale regions with about 0.1 angstrom accuracy. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Japan’s Institute for ...

Microscopes have long been scientists' eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type ...

In this study, a single atom trapped by an optical tweezer was successfully utilized as a scanning probe *4 for imaging the fine structures of intensity and polarization distributions of light ...

A new microscope developed by the TEAM Project (Transmission Electron Aberration-corrected Microscope), supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, has recorded the highest-resolution images ever seen ...

Researchers have developed a way to retrofit the transmission electron microscope -- a long-standing scientific workhorse for making crisp microscopic images -- so that it can also create high-quality ...

Three-dimensional atomic arrangements in nanoscale regions are essential information for the development of nanoscale devices and novel functional materials. Until now, however, there has been no ...
