When created at the nanoscale, materials can resemble shapes like stars, rods or even pyramids. These particle shapes, also known as the morphologies of a solid, make for more than just interesting ...

A mosquito’s proboscis — the long, thin bit that pierces the skin — makes an excellent nozzle for fine 3-D printing. The proboscis’ unique geometry and mechanics make it well-suited for the task, ...

The technique of Cathodoluminescence (CL) is widely employed in electron microscopy. It is routinely applied across various geological studies, including defect states and dating; materials science to ...

In this investigation, Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles and nanocomposite powders such as Zinc- Aluminium (ZnS-Al), Zinc- Platinum (ZnS-Pt), and Zinc- Aluminium-Platinum (ZnS-Al-Pt) were fabricated ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...

A multi-institute team led by Professors Ling Qiu, Baofu Ding and Hui-Ming Cheng has unveiled a two-dimensional titanium-dioxide sunscreen platform that erases the century-old trade-off between safety ...

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 ...

Six-year-old Leanora Levine, left, and 9-year-old Silas Mattiolo create loads of bubbles during a chemistry session led by Wyoming Seminary science teacher Lisa Iskra. Six-year-old William Anzalone ...

An example of a correlative study between XRM and FIB-SEM has been presented in an earlier study. 1 This article will expand the correlation one step beneath the length scale to link FIB-SEM and TEM, ...

Abstract: Nanomaterials play a crucial role in advancing biomedicine, electronics, and optics due to their unique properties. However, the characterization of nanoparticles in electron microscopy (EM) ...
