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 ...

Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

MXenes are an important recent discovery in two-dimensional (2D) materials research. Since the unique 2D material class was discovered, electron microscopy techniques have been the primary method used ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950s, scanning electron microscopes ...
