For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each ...

The ‘Tapping Mode SQUID-on-Tip’ (TM-SOT) microscope enables multimodal imaging to be performed extremely close to the sample surface using tapping mode feedback. This allows for stability during ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

A closer look reveals how ordinary salt transforms into a miniature cityscape when magnified. Crystal structures form sharp ...

A 1.98-square-micrometer QR code, etched into ceramic thin film and verified by Guinness, showcases a new approach to ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.

Just how small can a QR code be? Small enough that it can only be recognized with an electron microscope. A research team at TU Wien, working together with the data storage technology company Cerabyte ...

The smallest QR code in the world is so very tiny that your phone would need an electron microscope to scan it. The matrix ...

A research team figured out a way to write data onto wafers of glass using lasers, and unlike, for example, a magnetic tape, ...
