The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new large-scale instrument worth €800,000. The Kiel research groups led by Professors Michael Bauer and Kai Rossnagel are using it to expand their ...

How do the nerve cells in our brain communicate with each other? What processes take place when T cells render cancer cells harmless? Details of the mechanisms at the cellular level remain hidden from ...

The ‘Tapping Mode SQUID-on-Tip’ (TM-SOT) microscope enables multimodal imaging to be performed extremely close to the sample surface using tapping mode feedback. This allows for stability during ...

Electron microscopes have become a common sight in many university departments thanks to their high versatility and utility in bringing the nano-world to life. With spatial resolution and analytical ...

A slow-motion movie on sports television channels shows processes in hundredths of a second. By contrast, processes on the nanoscale take place in the so-called femtosecond range: For example, an ...

This article has been updated in January 2024. High resolution images of microscopic samples can be obtained experimentally using Scanning Electron Transmission Microscopy (STEM). It is an effective ...

Researchers at TU Wien in Vienna have created a QR code so small it can only be read with an electron microscope. The code measures roughly 1.98 square micrometers, with individual pixels about 49 ...

Attending the RAISe+ Scheme Signing Ceremony are Professor Chen Fu-Rong (2nd left) and his research team members: Professor Hsueh Yu-Chun (1st left), Dr Chen Yan (2nd right) and Mr Chen Yuchi (1st ...

Few standard optical microscopy methods can achieve the same level of spatial resolution, which is essential for being able to resolve geometric and structural features on the nanometer length scale.
