Clay minerals have long been thought too large for plant absorption, but new research turns that assumption on its head. Scientists have discovered that wheat (Triticum aestivum) can absorb micrometer ...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to enhance the early diagnosis of cervical cancer by utilizing both scanning atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images. Until now, these two ...

An electron microscopy image can capture atoms arranged in a crystal lattice or defects threading through a semiconductor material, but turning that image into materials insight can take weeks of ...

Atomic-scale EMCD imaging reveals antiferromagnetic order in single atomic columns, detects ultrathin interfacial 'dead' layers, and advances high-density spintronic design. (Nanowerk News) A ...

Scientists have created the smallest QR code in the world, measuring just 3.07 × 10⁻⁹ square inches (1.98 square micrometers). It can preserve data for thousands of years and it's so small that you ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is re-emerging as an accessible method in bacteriology, driven by technological advances that produced the powerful and compact tabletop SEM. This review highlights ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...
