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

The discovery challenges basic assumptions about how metals solidify In A Nutshell Liquid metal contains stationary atoms: ...

Carbon nanotube field emitters are at present the brightest available electron sources but must operate at low currents to avoid Coulomb expansion and are therefore not suitable for ultrafast imaging.

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 ...

Scientists have calculated how it is possible to look inside the atom to image individual electron orbitals. An electron microscope can't just snap a photo like a mobile phone camera can. The ability ...

It’s like catching light in action. For the first time, physicists have measured changes in an atom to the level of zeptoseconds, or trillionths of a billionth of a second – the smallest division of ...
