Much like the traditional scanning electron microscope (SEM), the field emission scanning electron microscope uses electrons to illuminate a sample, instead of visible light as is used in optical ...

Unlike Scanning Electron Microscopy that bounces electrons off the surface of a sample to produce an image, Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) shoot the electrons completely through the sample.

Engineers have created the first working quantum bit based on a single atom in silicon, opening the way to ultra-powerful quantum computers of the future. Scientists were able to both read and write ...

It may not have won an Oscar, but the tiny electron has finally made its film debut. A new video shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. This is ...

Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

Once a photon has removed an electron from a helium atom, it is possible to calculate the probable position of the remaining electron. The likeliest position of the electron is shown in the image as ...

Metal–ligand (or coordination) complexes are key components in the toolbox of the practising chemist. Not only are these complexes used for a wide range of applications — including as catalysts for ...
