(Nanowerk News) Between chemistry classes, gemstones, and electronics, the idea of crystals, substances with an ordered and periodic arrangement of atoms is quite common. But about 40 years ago, a ...

India, Feb. 9 -- You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light you shine at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and ...

Researchers designed a computational framework that consists of a compact metalens-integrated microscope and a transformer-based neural network, which enables large FOV and subpixel resolution imaging ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far from still. By squeezing terahertz light down to microscopic scales, a ...

Ever since their discovery, quasicrystals have garnered much attention due to their strange structure. Today, they remain far from being well-understood. In a new study, scientists reveal, for the ...
