The technique, named atomic number electron microscopy (ZEM), is now used to observe hydrogen storage behavior and the associated defect formation and healing processes of palladium at the nanoscale.

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing ...

Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous record was ...

Atoms are the building blocks of all matter, from the air we breathe to every cell in our bodies. Yet despite their presence everywhere, no one has truly seen an atom with the naked eye ,until ...

University of Groningen physicists have visualized hydrogen at the titanium/titanium hydride interface using a transmission electron microscope. Using a new technique, they succeeded in ...

Researchers at Leti, a CEA Tech institute, recently developed an electron holography technique capable of imaging material structures with a spatial resolution of just one atom. Electron holography, a ...
