Scanning-tunnelling microscope with a superconducting tip could help uncover materials for next-generation quantum computers ...

The electron microscope has higher resolving power than a light microscope and can reveal the structure of smaller objects. This paper describes the development of the lens of an electron microscope ...

Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay ...

Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay under exposure to ...

By adjusting the solution pH value below the isoelectric point (pI) of silk fibroin (SF) protein, the SF was in the cation state and it could interact strongly with unmodified anionic montmorillonite ...

To overcome these limitations, we introduce iCOUNT (interferometric concentration observer and ultrasmall nanoparticle tracker), a method that integrates interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy ...

Segmentation of mitochondria in electron mi-croscopy (EM) images is a challenging task due to complex shapes of mitochondria and other sub-cellular structures, background clutter, weak boundaries, low ...

In the present paper we have applied a new multimethod approach, consisting of elemental and thermal analyses, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), solid state 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (13 C NMR) ...
