The high sensitivity of the reflection electron microscopy (REM) technique to small changes in the crystal structure and composition of the top surface layers of various crystalline materials makes it ...

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. A team of New York University researchers has created a new ...

The potential use of nickel in new nanomaterials and as a low-cost catalyst in chemical reactions serving a range of industrial processes has been held back by a limited understanding of fundamental ...

Researchers have studied the kinetic and thermodynamic processes of sugar crystallization in the making of fondant. They combine a controlled kneading machine with light microscopy to precisely ...

What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy? Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and ...

High temperature microscopy is the use of microscopy techniques on samples at high temperatures. Often, this means the microscopy instrumentation needs to be specifically designed to cope with the ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of New York University researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, akin to having X-ray vision. Their new technique – which they ...
