Radiation damage remains the principal limitation in achieving higher resolution in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), ...

Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

Transmission electron microscopy articles from across Nature Portfolio Transmission electron microscopy is a general type of electron microscopy that generates an image of the internal structure ...

Scientists have observed a brand-new and exotic atomic nucleus: aluminium-20. Unlike anything seen before, it decays through a stunning three-proton emission sequence, shedding light on nuclear ...

Researchers from the University of Münster have succeeded for the first time in using spin-polarised scanning tunnelling ...

Developments in electron microscopy are generating more realistic views of catalysts, allowing optimization of their structure to improve their performance.

POSTECH, MPK, and Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics have revealed the hidden dynamics of electrons during quantum ...

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a ...

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 ...
