Most people know that you can't see atoms... or can you? With this special microscope, scientists actually can! In the late ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

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 ...

ABLASCAN, a plug-and-play microscope developed by French deep tech startup Ablatom, can reveal the atomic composition of materials in just milliseconds. Demonstrated at the ongoing CES 2025, the ...

Larry Allard, principal scientist who helped pioneer the technology of the aberration-corrected electron microscope (ACEM) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory 20 years ago, will speak to Friends of ORNL ...

Using conventional X-rays and lasers to detect the atomic state of hydrogen is challenging, given its small size. A group of researchers may have overcome this barrier by unveiling a new visualization ...

All matter is made of very small units called atoms. Atoms are so small they cannot be seen using a regular microscope. Scientists have discovered a way to “see” atoms using a special instrument ...

The DIGIT imaging tool could enable the design of quantum devices and shed light on atomic-scale processes in cells and tissues. (Nanowerk News) If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then ...

When we were in school, they always told us we can’t see atoms. If you have an electron microscope, then they were wrong. [AlphaPhoenix] has access to a scanning tunneling transmission electron ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next ...

(Nanowerk News) A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You ...
