Using conventional X-rays and lasers to detect the atomic state of hydrogen is challenging, given its small size. A group of researchers may have overcome this barrier by unveiling a new visualization ...

A research team from National Taiwan University has developed a new electron microscopy technique that enables sensitive atomic number (Z) measurements of samples. The technique, named atomic number ...

The new technique overcomes the challenge of detecting atomic state hydrogen, the smallest atom, through conventional means. This method allows real-time observation of hydrogen flow in metals with ...

When Ondrej Krivanek first considered building a device to boost the resolution of electron microscopes, he asked about funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. “The response was not positive,” he ...

Using a scanning tunneling microscope equipped with a femtosecond terahertz laser, scientists have exploited the quantum properties of a two-atom hydrogen molecule to observe changes in the ...

Forget megapixel count. A device being created by the Department of Energy will be able to show things smaller than hydrogen atoms. Photos: Nanotech visions Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...
