A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

Electron beams (cyan haze in top left) are routinely used to determine the molecular structures of biomolecules in ...

This ultrafast electron microscopy method allows researchers to observe how microelectronic materials function at nanoscale lengths and nanosecond speeds. The drive toward smaller, faster and more ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the electron beam passes through the sample to be directly imaged on the detector below, it is often necessary to support the thin samples on a grid.

A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions. It was ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast off into space. But a team of researchers from TU Wien and their colleagues ...
