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 ...

Before and after: example of image denoising as applied to atomic resolution imaging of a gold nanoparticle. On the left is the original experimental data as captured. On the right is the same image ...

A team of Cornell University engineers developed a new microscopy technique that’s powerful enough to spot an individual atom in three dimensions — and create an image so clear that the only ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

Researchers at Cornell University are using a new kind of scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to take pictures of individual atoms in color for the first time. It seems odd, but 'the ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

A fascinating material: Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a very important material for the large and thriving field of two-dimensional (2D) materials research and emerging new devices. The challenge: ...
