Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) ceremonially commissioned a state-of-the-art cryo plasma-FIB scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of science, technology, and medicine news ...

Nearly a century ago, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll provided the first demonstration of a microscope that could image specimens using electrons rather than light. The earliest images obtained via this ...

Did you ever wonder how an animal as large as a polar bear or reindeer floats? The answer is hollow hair, a remarkable ...

SLAC researchers develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic electron tomography imaging ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, the Goethe University in Frankfurt ...

The phenomenon where electron spins align in a specific direction after passing through chiral materials is a cornerstone for ...

Discover why the witec360 Raman microscope is considered the gold standard for correlative microscopy and nanoscale imaging.

On the other hand, Gallium focused ion beam (FIB) milling can only reasonably produce cross-sections of samples that are 20 ...

The Stanford team created a metasurface from a polymer previously used in solar panels and printable electronics. They found ...

Inspired by the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish, Stanford researchers have developed a soft material that can rapidly shift its surface texture and color at extremely fine ...
