A new atom holography microscope uses a focused SEM beam to map 3D atomic arrangements in nanoscale regions with about 0.1 angstrom accuracy.

Microscopes have long been scientists' eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Learn about how Mark Raizen and his team at UT Austin have developed the world's highest resolution atom lens. An atom lens is analogous to a glass lens used in an optical microscope or magnifying ...

Our team at IBM Research made a breakthrough in controlling the quantum behavior of individual atoms, demonstrating a versatile new building block for quantum computation. In the paper, "Coherent spin ...

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type ...

In this study, a single atom trapped by an optical tweezer was successfully utilized as a scanning probe *4 for imaging the fine structures of intensity and polarization distributions of light ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their collaborators have developed a way to retrofit the transmission electron microscope -- a ...

Researchers have developed a way to retrofit the transmission electron microscope -- a long-standing scientific workhorse for making crisp microscopic images -- so that it can also create high-quality ...
