Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...

Physicists are developing quantum microscopy which enables them for the first time to record the movement of electrons at the atomic level with both extremely high spatial and temporal resolution.

In new research published this week in Nature, Weizmann Institute scientists introduce a powerful tool to explore quantum phenomena — the cryogenic Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM). Using this ...

Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record-breaking modern iteration finally achieved what physicists have waited decades to see—for the first time, a transmission electron ...

With the advance of quantum technologies, new microscopy modalities are becoming possible -- ones that can see electric currents, detect fluctuating magnetic fields, and even see single molecules on a ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, lighting the path for future quantum innovations. Like perfectly controlled ...

Researchers show electrical control of quantum interference in atomic spins on surfaces using a scanning tunnelling microscope and modulated bias fields. The system studied consists of a single atom ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

Quantum confinement is a phenomenon that occurs when the dimensions of a material are reduced to the nanoscale, typically in the range of 1-100 nanometers. At this scale, the electronic and optical ...
