We used correlative light and focussed ion beam–scanning electron microscopy (FIBSEM) to characterise the ultrastructural organisation of neuromodulatory axons in the upper layers of the adult mouse ...

A transmitting electron microscope (TEM) ready for operation (photo by Nikky on Adobe Stock). Research capabilities are expanding at the Franceschi Microscopy and Imaging Center (FMIC) thanks to the ...

Some of the most important discoveries in materials science and structural biology come down to a simple question: Where, ...

A coupled mechanistic model reproduces long-term degradation in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers and identifies ...

A new machine learning framework predicts the mechanical properties of lignin-based polyurethane foams from microscope images ...

What would it take to watch an electron move through a material? Researchers would need to see individual atoms and capture an electron's motion at incredibly short timescales. A Technion-led team has ...

CMOS multifunctional programmable metachip for terahertz-integrated sensing and communication By using silver mmDNA base pairs as a nucleation site and the topology of the tile to stabilize ...

Scientists are combining an electron microscope with a quantum computer to squeeze far more information from each electron. The approach could reveal faint details with fewer electrons, helping ...

Your browser does not support the video tag. Imagine being able to read the date on a coin that’s sitting on the moon, approximately 240,000 miles, or 384,000 km ...

Although both a SEM and a TEM are electron microscopes, their working principles and images are very different. Whereas an SEM uses secondary electrons ejected after bombarding a sample’s surface with ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase-contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

A laser (purple) is powerfully amplified by highly polished mirrors and focused on the electron beam (blue) to shift its phase and increase the cryo-EM microscope’s contrast, allowing biologists to ...
