When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

A new x-ray microscopy technique permits observation of molecular-scale features less than a nanometer in height. Developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne (IL) National ...

The combination of cutting‑edge features is fitting for a facility serving multiple fields including microbiology, food ...

Analyzing magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution is a test-and-measurement challenge, but it’s important for both advanced physics insight as well as real-world products such as high-density ...

Researchers at TU Wien in Vienna have created a QR code so small it can only be read with an electron microscope. The code measures roughly 1.98 square micrometers, with individual pixels about 49 ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...
