A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far from still. By squeezing terahertz light down to microscopic scales, a ...

A cryogen-free optical-coupled scanning probe microscope based on remote helium liquefaction has enabled months-long ...
