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 ...

The honor celebrates her monumental contributions to molecular biology, including Chow’s landmark 1977 discovery of split genes and RNA splicing using transmission electron microscopy to visualize the ...

Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a ...

In 1,647 Framingham adults, closer MIND diet adherence was linked to slower gray matter loss over about 12 years. See the foods, MRI data, and limitations. Virginia's new nursing home sanctions ...

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN senior editor Laurel Oldach about a laser phase plate, a device that boosts the contrast in electron microscopy using the ...

Physicists have demonstrated a laser-based method that enables a cryogenic electron microscope to image small protein structures with greater detail than previously possible. The laser phase plate ...

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 ...

Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...

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 ...

In this video Microscopy Specialist takes a look at a vinyl record, stylus, and cartridge under a hugely powerful scanning electron microscope (SEM) with up to 100,000× magnification and ~10 nm ...
