FEI has announced that it has completed the installation of a suite of high-end electron microscopes at Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) new Centre for Soft Materials. The systems installed include the ...

Microscopes have played a pivotal role in the development of science since the 16th century. However, progress has required not only more sensitive and accurate equipment and analysis, but also more ...

Manipulators are used to perform fine operations under a microscopic field of view, and generally require a skilled technique. To create an easy-to-use manipulation system, we applied mechatronics and ...

A new microscope can be printed on a flat piece of paper and assembled with a few extra components in less than 10 minutes. All the parts to make it cost less than a dollar, according to Stanford ...

Current silicon semiconductors can be as small as 20 nm in size, making them an ideal option for fast computing using minimal energy. Technology at the nanoscale has both advantages and disadvantages.

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...
