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 simple technique allows a high-tech microscope to sense an individual atom’s spin, the microscopic equivalent of a bar magnet’s magnetic axis and a crucial component of a material’s magnetic and ...

The first of two advanced microscopes has been installed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. TEAM 0.5 is the world's most powerful transmission electron microscope and is capable of producing ...

Physicists have deployed a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) as a “quantum microscope” to study phase transitions in a high-temperature superconductor. The experiment marks the first time a BEC has been ...

An Atom Probe is a scientific instrument with the full name “atom probe field ion microscope”. The atom probe allows individual atoms to be seen and also identified. An atom probe is a point ...

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 ...

The hospital technology, typically used to identify human ailments, captured perhaps the world’s smallest magnetic resonance image. By Knvul Sheikh As our devices get smaller and more sophisticated, ...

Scientists tracked an atom's nuclear spin in real time with a tunneling microscope, finding it stable for seconds, opening paths to better magnetic control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Delft ...

(Nanowerk News) A novel technique that nudges single atoms to switch places within an atomically thin material could bring scientists another step closer to realizing theoretical physicist Richard ...

Note: The IBM atomic storage story starts at the 8:05 minute mark. There is also a story on IBM Quantum Computing at the 26:07 minute mark. Today IBM announced it has created the world’s smallest ...
