One of the most important things to understand in battery technology is the precise physical and chemical processes that occur at the electrode/electrolyte interface. However, microscopic ...

“We were excited to see this,” says James Hannon, a researcher at IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. “People knew it would be possible, but no one had ever tried it. This ...

To determine the high-resolution structure of some biomolecules, scientists use the well-established technique X-ray crystallography. But for that century-old method to work, they must first grow ...

Test for echo: schematic diagram of an object to be imaged (blue blob) and illumination source (concentric circles) inside a randomly shaped cavity. The detector is represented by the two parallel ...

(a) Working principle of metasurface displacement measurement can be understood as the detection of the power of different modes of the converted light. The incident irradiated on the metasurface and ...

X-ray diffraction techniques underpin the characterisation of polycrystalline materials by exploiting the interaction of X-rays with lattice planes to reveal crystallographic orientation, phase ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new imaging technique that uses electron diffraction waves to improve both image resolution and sensitivity to small structures has been developed by scientists at the University ...

(Nanowerk News) Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials whose structure resembles a scaffold of beams around a large empty space; this internal space can be used to store ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) and ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) employ extremely short electron pulses—ranging from picoseconds down to a few femtoseconds—to image and diffract samples ...

Newswise — Refractive index (RI) is an important parameter for describing the optical properties of materials and is closely related to sample morphology, density, stress, chemical composition, and ...

The global oil trade is a complex and highly lucrative industry that relies on accurate analysis of crude oil samples. Ensuring the quality, origin, and authenticity of oil samples is crucial for ...
