Bilayer Clusters of Atoms Less Than a Nanometer in Dimension Found to be Responsible for Vital Oxidation Reaction

Few materials have exercised as much of a hold on the human imagination, or on human history, as has gold. But for all of its popular uses - money, medals, jewelry and more - gold's potential as a catalyst lay hid...

New Microscope Uses Helium Ions to Generate Signals

Just as test pilots push planes to explore their limits, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are probing the newest microscope technology to further improve measurement accuracy at the nanoscale. Better nanoscale measurements are critical for setting standards and improving production in the semiconductor and nanomanufacturing industries.

Scientists Observe Change from Cooperative to Individual Behaviour in Electrons with Different Speeds

Electrons have something in common with people: the more information they acquire about their setting, the more they become aware of their individuality and the more belonging to a group loses its importance. As a result, the coherent harmony that binds the electrons into a fixed relationship with their environment is lost. This is what scientists at the Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max-Planck Society discovered when, with the aid of X-rays, they catapulted electrons out of molecules consisting of two nitrogen atoms.

FEI Releases New X-FEG Electron Source Module for Titan Family of S/TEMs

FEI Company, a leading provider of atomic-scale imaging and analysis systems, today released its new extreme field emission gun (X-FEG) electron source module for the Titan(TM) family of scanning transmission electron microscopes (S/TEMs). The new technology combines higher brightness - previously available only with more complex cold field emission - with the high, ultra-stable current of thermally-assisted field emission.
