For decades, a laboratory procedure known as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to test for asbestos in samples taken at construction sites. In 1989, the U.S. Environmental ...

For the first time, scientists using cryo-electron microscopy have discovered the structure and shape of key receptors ...

Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope. Neat!

Specimen contamination induced by electron beam irradiation has long been a serious problem for high-resolution imaging and analysis by a transmission electron microscope (TEM). It creates a ...

The goal is to understand and control the formation of alumina-supported iron nanoparticles using a high-tech microscope and ...

A listeria food poisoning outbreak that has killed three people and led to one pregnancy loss is linked to newly recalled ...

This paper reports on a correlation between diminished cardiolipin content and the severity of steatohepatitis in human subjects. This is supported further by experimental evidence from mice in which ...

UC Irvine, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), have used biology to convert human urine into a valuable ...

A study nearly 10 years in the making has shed new insight into how oxides can regularly sustain themselves, using the oxygen ...

The negative capacitance (NC) of ferroelectric materials has attracted extensive attention due to its potential to overcome the power consumption limitations of microelectronic devices. Due to the ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

One challenge facing tin-based perovskite solar cells is their lower energy conversion efficiency compared to their lead-based counterparts. The use of indene-C 60 diadduct (ICBA), which consists of ...
