New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...

Scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. Scientists used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin materials do not adhere to these rules. Instead, an unusual state between ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers use cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in tandem with molecular dynamics simulation to reveal that the usually closed spike proteins ...
