In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists in Arts & Sciences at Washington ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have unveiled a planar optical device that ...

Snowflakes provide many of us with our earliest impressions of what it means to be unique. Even within a group—the flakes so numerous as to be seemingly uncountable—no two, we were told, are exactly ...

The film provides an introduction to crystal growth and structure, focusing on sodium chloride (common salt) as a primary example. It details the process of crystal formation under a microscope, ...

With measurements on scales smaller than the thickness of a human hair, we can unlock the age and chemical compositions hidden inside tiny crystals to understand processes occurring on a colossal ...

lattice parameters and crystal symmetry. It would be a real pity to turn down the extraordinary opportunities offered by abberation-corrected electron microscopy because of an unfortunately common ...

SECTIONS 1 and 2 of this book deal with crystal morphology. The information included in the fifty pages is surprisingly complete. It is to be regretted, therefore, that the authors have not made ...

crystal structure, and defects of materials. It is highly valued for its ability to provide detailed images of the internal structure of samples. Both STEM and TEM are indispensable tools in the field ...

(Image: Microscopy and Microanalysis ... The technique leverages the interaction of electrons with matter to provide insights into the crystal structure, phase, orientation, and electronic properties ...

Look at these glucose crystals. But light microscopes have a limit. Any object that's smaller than the wavelength of light appears blurred. But in the 1930s, a new kind of microscope was invented ...
