Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths ...

The kidneys are vital organs that sustain life by filtering the blood and producing urine. This filtration process takes ...

TEM works by transmitting a beam of electrons through an ultra-thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the specimen, they are scattered or transmitted, producing an image that is magnified and ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Have you ever seen a hibiscus flower? Although its petals have a range of colors, what makes the trumpet-shaped flower more ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...

A custom-designed electron cryomicroscope operating at 100 keV promises to minimize the expense and complexity of biological structure research. Although electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) has shown ...

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...
