Until now, observing subatomic structures was beyond the resolution capabilities of direct imaging methods, and this seemed unlikely to change. Czech scientists, however, have presented a method with ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have uncovered the long-standing mystery behind the synthesis of Janus two-dimensional (2D) ...

Resonance phenomena in electron–atom interactions arise when an incoming electron temporarily binds to an atom or molecule, forming a metastable state before eventual decay. These transient states ...

The ultimate degree of control for engineering would be the ability to create and manipulate materials at the most basic level, fabricating devices atom by atom with precise control. Now, scientists ...

Recent advances in transmission electron microscopy instrumentation have made it an indispensable technique for atomic-scale materials characterization. Concurrently, the availability of 2D materials ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single hydrogen ...

Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Everything around us — from air and water, to rocks, plants and animals — as well as everything within our bodies, is made up of atoms. They are very small, ...
