Crafted from sheets of graphene, graphene quantum dots have extraordinarily unique qualities and have been revolutionizing the field of fluorescence microscopy. Graphene quantum dots are superior to ...

In situ transmission electron microscopy combines the image-capturing abilities of the TEM with real-time observations of how materials react to changes in external conditions such as electric or ...

Argonne National Laboratory has discovered that nanoparticles of gold act unusually when close to the edge of graphene. This could be big for the development of new sensors and quantum devices.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new dark-field imaging technique that does not require specialized microscope ...

Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its structure on the atomic scale. When using this technique, however, they can ...
