Unemployed Scientists Create Ultrapowerful Microscope
LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va., Aug. 11, 2006 -- Two out-of-work scientists equipped with $50,000 in personal funds and a living room for a lab have created a new light microscope so powerful that it allows users to discern the precise location of individual proteins inside cells. The new approach, called photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM), brings researchers far closer to their goal of being able to discriminate molecules that are only two to 25 nanometers apart. Resolution limitations of traditional optical microscopes lead to...
New Imaging Method Uses Helium Atoms
EUGENE, Ore., Aug. 1, 2006 -- A newly devised nozzle fitted with a pinhole-sized capillary has allowed researchers to distribute helium atoms with x-ray-like waves on randomly shaped surfaces. The technique could power the development of a new microscope for nanotechnology,...
Optical Limiting in Metal Nanowires Studied
Aug 1, 2006 — Optical limiters transmit low-intensity but block high-intensity light, making them suitable for use in applications such as the protection of sensors and the human eye from laser radiation. In the pursuit of alternative material for such devices,...
Kania Named President, CEO of FEI Co.
Jul 25, 2006 — FEI Co. of Hillsboro, Ore., announced today that Don R. Kania has been named president, CEO and a FEI board member by its board of directors. Kania, PhD, most recently has been president and COO of metrology and process equipment maker Veeco...
Ultrasharp Single-Atom Tips Could Improve Microscopy
EDMONTON, Alberta, July 12, 2006 -- New ultrasharp, single-atom tips created through a unique process could improve electron microscopy to a level that would make solutions possible to research problems currently just out of reach, its developers said. Scientists from the...
Nanowires Grown to Power Tiny Lasers, LEDs
GAITHERSBURG, Md., May 30, 2006 -- The nano world is getting brighter, thanks to newly "grown" nanowires made of semiconductor materials that are being used to make prototype lasers and LEDs with emission apertures roughly 100 nanometers in diameter, or about 50 times narrower...
New Microscope Shows More Detail Than Ever
LONDON, May 5, 2006 -- Scientists using a unique three-dimensional microscope that works in a new way said it is giving researchers unprecedented insight into microscopic internal structure and chemical composition. It is revealing how materials are affected, over time,...
News Briefs (March 8, 2006)
Mar 8, 2006 — Nanotech toolmaker FEI Co. of Hillsboro, Ore., announced that global chemical company BASF has ordered its Strata 400, which has a focused ion beam for nanoscale milling and deposition and a scanning electron microscope for ultrahigh resolution...
Researchers Unveil Nanostructures in 3-D
Mar 1, 2006 — DUSSELDORF, Germany, March 1, 2006 -- Researchers in the Department of Microstructure Physics and Metal Forming at the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research in Dusseldorf have created what they say is the world's first electron microscope that...
Customized Microscope Helps Track Cells
Dec 28, 2005 — BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 28 -- Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley using a customized atomic force microscope (AFM) have discovered new evidence for how the fibrous scaffolding within human cells responds to obstacles in its...
'Nanospring' Defying 300 Years of Research
Dec 14, 2005 — CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 14 -- Researchers have known for some time that a long, fibrous coil grown by a single-cell protozoan is, gram for gram, more powerful than a car engine. Now, researchers at Whitehead Institute -- together with colleagues at...
Ohio State Installs Microscope That Can Magnify 30 Million Times
Nov 22, 2005 — COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 22 -- The Ohio State University is one of the first customers in the world to receive a new microscope capable of magnifying up to 30 million times, enabling researchers to examine materials at the atomic scale (sub-angstrom)....
