A team of Dutch and French researchers has built a microscope that can see atomic wave functions. The team has performed an experiment where they ionised xenon atoms in an electric field and recorded ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

Nanowires can be manipulated using an atomic force microscope (AFM) to generate intricate and extremely conductive nanostructures that operate as nano-electrodes, allowing connection and electronic ...

Since the early 2010s, ultrafast probing of materials at atomic-level resolution has been enabled by terahertz scanning tunneling microscopes (THz-STM). But these devices can't detect the dissipation ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists invented ...

Scientists have discovered a new method to manipulate atoms. Using the atoms at the tip (that are chemically different to those at the surface) as “ink”, it is possible to “write” or “draw” with the ...

Manipulators are used to perform fine operations under a microscopic field of view, and generally require a skilled technique. To create an easy-to-use manipulation system, we applied mechatronics and ...

Manipulating nanoscale light in scanning tunneling microscope junctions is attained by nanofabrication of gold tips using a focused ion beam technique. Researchers have demonstrated that a spectrum of ...

Olympus, a leading manufacturer of high-end research microscopes, and Cytosurge, a precision manufacturer of cell manipulation technologies, have entered a co-marketing agreement to become a complete ...
