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 ...

Four years ago the first modern electron microscope was exhibited by the Siemens & Halske A.-G., in Berlin (TIME, June 6, 1938). Two years ago the R.C.A. Laboratories completed the first commercial ...

Current silicon semiconductors can be as small as 20 nm in size, making them an ideal option for fast computing using minimal energy. Technology at the nanoscale has both advantages and disadvantages.

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimens. Now, ...

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

ONE of the greatest difficulties for the user of an electron microscope in metallography is the localization of a micrograph on the original specimen. The high magnification gives a very small area of ...

James Hillier, the Canadian-born physicist who made the first practical electron microscope, then personally convinced hundreds of scientists to use it, has died. He was 91. Hillier died of a stroke ...
