The tweezers’ action occurs on a common glass microscope slide embedded with five electrodes. These electrodes create an electric field that can be used to push, pull, move and spin a selected object ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

The microscope tip acts as a protective shield that dampens the disruptive fields from areas of the sample that are further away. "The influence of the shielded electric fields thus decreases ...

BU neuroscientist and collaborators have developed a multidisciplinary approach using a new microscope, artificial intelligence algorithm, and voltage indicators to better measure brain activity. When ...

Advanced materials with finely tuned electric and magnetic properties are the goal of all materials scientists. More energy efficient electronic devices, better performing hybrid electric vehicles, ...

A team of researchers from Jülich in cooperation with the University of Magdeburg has developed a new method to measure the electric potentials of a sample at atomic accuracy. Using conventional ...
