With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...

So-called rock-eating microorganisms obtain their energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) from inorganic sources and make up the vast majority of biomass producers. Using electron microscopy and ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

The FEI 200kV Titan Themis Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) is a scanning transmission electron microscope with several key capabilities. This microscope positions Michigan Tech ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

A group of researchers led by the Zhejiang University of Technology in China has proposed to use two sulfone-based organic molecules known as diphenylsulfone (DPS) and 4,4′-dimethyldiphenylsulfone ...
