A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...

SLAC staff scientist Alexander Reid was the first user of the lab's electron camera for ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV-UED) since it became available to the international community as part of the ...

IN opening the discussion on electron diffraction and surface structure before a joint meeting of the Physical and Chemical Societies held on March 17, Prof. G. I. Finch compared electron diffraction ...

Learn more about the discovery of the electron and why J.J. Thomson often gets the credit.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) is often referred to as the gold standard of sample characterisation, offering three-dimensional structure of both molecules and their crystalline packing, ...

Scientists have built a compact electron camera that can capture the inner, ultrafast dynamics of matter. The system shoots short bunches of electrons at a sample to take snapshots of its current ...

4D STEM is currently used in many TEM projects and is for sure on every electron microscopist’s “must-watch” list. Recent advancements in TEM technology, particularly the hybrid-pixel direct electron ...
