Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

With machine learning methods and an advanced technique called lattice light sheet microscopy (LLSM), scientists have now revealed structures on the surface of B cells that influence how those immune ...

The migration of carbon atoms on the surface of the nanomaterial graphene was recently measured for the first time. Although the atoms move too swiftly to be directly observed with an electron ...

Learn how multi-scale insights from AFM and AFP enhance hybrid bond integrity and device performance.

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

There are various microscopies to monitor chemical processes on such surfaces -- they use, for example, ultraviolet light, X-rays or electrons. But no single method alone provides a complete picture.

One has to look very closely to exactly understand what processes take place on the surfaces of catalysts. Solid catalysts are often finely structured materials made of tiny crystals. There are ...

Irregularities on a surface determine how rough it is. Surface roughness can be evaluated by visual appearances and tactile sensation and can be measured using a numerical scale. A surface condition ...

Catalysis is one of the key technologies in the chemical industry and has a wide-reaching impact on various aspects of our daily lives, including plastics manufacturing, drug synthesis, and production ...
