If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light — which is a thousand times larger than the atom’s width — is comparable to an ocean wave. The light wave can dwarf ...
Larry Allard, principal scientist who helped pioneer the technology of the aberration-corrected electron microscope (ACEM) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory 20 years ago, will speak to Friends of ORNL ...
A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening the door to atom-specific analysis and control. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
