Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...

No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere. But now, scientists using supercomputer simulations and atomic resolution microscopes have imaged the ...

Over the past decades, engineers have introduced numerous technologies that rely on light and its underlying characteristics.

Researchers demonstrate orbital hybridization in graphene-based quantum dots, revealing how anisotropic confinement influences electronic states at the atomic scale. Quantum dots, often described as ...

Atomic orbitals (red & blue), which determine how far electrons can move around their originating atom in a material, can trap those electrons in place—a new source of frustration that researchers can ...
