Superresolution Captures Conformational Changes in Proteins
HEIDELBERG, Germany, March 16, 2023 — Researchers led by Nobel laureate Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research have developed a superresolution microscope with a spatiotemporal precision of 1 nm/ms. The work builds upon the team’s recently introduced MINFLUX superresolution microscopy technology, now enabling users to observe the miniscule movements of single proteins at what the researchers called an unprecedented level of detail. Investigating the inner workings of a cell requires knowledge of
Study on Thin-film Glass Reveals Liquid Phase
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Aug. 13, 2021 — Researchers at Penn State have shown a previously undescribed liquid phase in thin films of a glass-forming molecule. The work shows how thin films of glass can be fabricated to be denser and more stable, and it provides a framework for new...
‘Firefly’ Imaging Technique Sheds Light on Molecular Forces
ATLANTA, Sept. 24, 2020 — Using tools made of luminescent DNA, researchers at Emory University have visualized the mechanical forces of cells at the molecular level. The researchers demonstrated the technique on human blood platelets. “Normally, an optical microscope...

Inevitable Imperfection Produces Nanolaser
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 24, 2014 — Nanostructures are inevitably a little bit imperfect, making it impossible thus far to develop optical chips that can control light. However, such structures are proving to be perfect for a whole new set of uses.
Superconductor LEDs Help Unravel Entanglement
TORONTO, March 21, 2014 — Superconductivity in LEDs could generate the perplexing quantum physics phenomenon known as entanglement.
X-ray Camera Has Image Stabilizer
BERLIN, Jan. 8, 2014 — Making a firm connection between an x-ray lens and the nanoscale object to be imaged improves the imaging of low-contrast or moving nano-objects and could lead to new insights into dynamic nanoscale processes, such as the fastest magnetic switching...
E-beams get a new twist
GAITHERSBURG, Md. – A new method to expand the capabilities of conventional transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) has been discovered by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Passing electrons through a nanometer-scale grating imparted...
FEI Wins Multi-System Order From CANMET
HILLSBORO, Ore., Jan. 12, 2011 — CANMET Materials Technology Laboratory (CANMET-MTL) has selected three of FEI Co.’s electron microscope systems for its new facility at the McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton, Ontario. CANMET-MTL, a research center funded by the...
Synchrotron x-rays from a tabletop source
LONDON – A tabletop instrument in development may have the potential to produce bright, spatially coherent synchrotron x-rays similar in energy and quality to those generated by some of the largest x-ray facilities in the world. Such x-rays could enable...
Rationally designing plasmonic devices using imaging and simulation
CÓRDOBA, Argentina, and CAMBRIDGE, UK – Researchers intent on building plasmonic sensors to a set of specifications now have a new tool to help in that quest, according to a group of investigators. The team has demonstrated that electron tomography and electrodynamic simulations can...
PI Releases Actuators Brochure
AUBURN, Mass., July 20, 2010 — Piezo ceramic actuator and precision motion-control equipment provider PI (Physik Instrumente) LP released a new brochure for its lever amplified piezo flexure actuators. The brochure features a variety of newly designed flexure actuators for OEMs,...
Metrology System Implementation
Jun 7, 2010 — QED Technologies of Rochester, N.Y., an exclusive provider of magnetorheological finishing and subaperture stitching interferometry, has announced implementation of one of its aspheric stitching interferometers at Leibniz Institute for Surface...
CEA-Leti Project Aims to Improve Sub-28nm Node Yields
GRENOBLE, France, April 8, 2010 — CEA-Leti, a global research center committed to creating and commercializing innovation in micro- and nanotechnologies, announced that its Hybrid Metrology Project has developed a way to reduce measurement uncertainty in the sub-28nm nodes. ...
1st Atomic-scale QD Map Made
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 29, 2009 – The first atomic-scale maps of quantum dots was created by a team of physicists at the University of Michigan, who say it is a major step toward producing “designer dots” that can be tailored for specific applications.
Making nanotubes respond to rainbows
LIVERMORE, Calif. – Taking their cue from the eye, researchers have constructed a carbon nanotube that responds to all the colors of the rainbow. With some changes and more work, they could even have a nanometer-size photovoltaic device. The eye detects light...
Spray-On Solar Cells Pursued
WARWICK, UK, March 18, 2009 – Creating solar cells you can wear, fold, and bend -- and even spray onto surfaces -- is the goal of a four-year research program set to begin next month under a consortium of eight UK universities.
3-D MRI Extends to Nanoscale
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2009 – The creation of a microscopy tool with ultrahigh resolution, combined with an advanced 3-D image reconstruction technique, has enabled scientists to demonstate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on biological objects such as viruses. The achievement...
Plasmons Power Patterning
BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 23, 2008 -- A new lithography process that resembles a needle playing an album on a traditional LP turntable uses plasmonic lenses as "optical styluses" and could make microprocessors much smaller and more powerful and create disks that hold 10 to 100 times...
Oxford Sells Unit to Riber
ABINGDON, England, & BEZONS, France, Sept. 23, 2008 -- High technology tools and systems company Oxford Instruments plc and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) machine maker Riber SA announced Monday that Riber has bought the MBE business currently owned by Oxford's Bristol-based Plasma Technology business...
Subsurfaces Seen Sharply
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 21, 2008 -- The high penetration power of x-rays has been combined with diffraction imaging to create a novel x-ray microscope that makes it possible, for the first time, to view the detailed interiors of semiconductor devices and cellular structures. The...
Transistor is 1 Atom Thick
MANCHESTER, England, April 21, 2008 -- Graphene, a single-atom-thick sheet of graphite that combines aspects of semiconductors and metals, has been carved into tiny electronic circuits containing individual transistors not much bigger than a molecule. Kostya Novoselov, PhD, and professor...
