(Phys.org)—Coating the surface of a material with a single layer of diamond-like crystals greatly improves images of it taken with an electron microscope, according to a study led by scientists at ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...

Scanning tunnelling microscopy is a powerful tool for mapping the contours of surfaces on the atomic scale. A fine metallic tip hovers just above the surface of the sample, and a voltage is applied ...

Magnetism in two-dimensional materials is difficult to characterize because the materials’ extreme thinness renders conventional techniques ineffective. Researchers in Australia, Russia and China have ...

(Nanowerk News) Proteins are the building blocks of all living things, and they exist in virtually unlimited varieties, most of whose highly complex structures have not yet been determined. Those ...

Researchers from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) at Mumbai and Kharagpur have built a microscope that can image magnetic fields within microscopic two-dimensional samples that change over ...

FEI has announced its largest order for Life Sciences - Diamond Light Source, one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world, has ordered two Titan Krios™ cryo transmission electron ...
