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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Promising up to 1000x magnification, the SkyBasic wireless digital microscope turns your smartphone into a portable ...

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 ...

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 ...
