A 1.98-square-micrometer QR code, etched into ceramic thin film and verified by Guinness, showcases a new approach to ultra-dense, long-term data storage.

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 ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

Explore how correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) enables high-resolution insights into endocytic sorting.

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...
