Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

After only six months from the inauguration of the Joint Electron Microscopy Center at ALBA (JEMCA), this marvel of technology is already feeding published research. In fact, the first paper including ...

The approach could eventually enable smart materials and coatings that can switch between different optical, mechanical and electronic properties. The imaging technique lets researchers watch how ...

In-situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy electrodeposition of PtNi nanoparticle films on a carbon electrode during cyclic voltammetry. The electron beam (here in green color) illuminated ...

She will use single-cell injections and a microscope to track the nanoparticles and watch what happens to them over time inside individual cells. The CAREER award is considered the agency's most ...

What is Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis? Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a powerful technique for characterizing nanoparticles in solution. It combines laser light scattering microscopy with a ...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of ...

CLEVELAND—Case Western Reserve University chemist Divita Mathur was awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) grant for her research in synthetic ...

NPs are materials with nanoscale dimensions ranging between 1 and 100 nm. 1 They are classified based on shape, size, and other properties. NPs can be metallic, non-metallic, polymeric, and ceramic.

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...
