The smallest QR code in the world is so very tiny that your phone would need an electron microscope to scan it. The matrix ...

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

The ‘Tapping Mode SQUID-on-Tip’ (TM-SOT) microscope enables multimodal imaging to be performed extremely close to the sample surface using tapping mode feedback. This allows for stability during ...

Researchers used advanced electron ptychography to visualize atomic-scale defects inside modern transistors. The technique ...

Using atom manipulation with a scanning probe microscope, the researchers created an exotic molecule, that is C13Cl2, with a ...

A new species of chiton — a tiny, armored marine mollusk from a lineage roughly 500 million years old — has been identified ...
