Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ...

In a landmark achievement in biological imaging, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and Biohub today ...

From paints and inks to catalysts and drug-delivery materials, many advanced technologies rely on substances dispersed in ...

Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley physicists' new technique offers detailed images of the small molecules and cell structures that ...

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 ...

Ahead of his 60th birthday, Paul A. Midgley, Professor of Materials Science at the University of Cambridge, discussed his life in science. I had a fairly typical upbringing for someone of my ...

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials are promising candidates for next-generation quantum, plasmonic and optoelectronic devices due to their tunable electronic properties, environmental ...
