A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground states using a new form of scanning probe microscopy. In the last few years ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

The biggest chains in America are using facial recognition technology to try to stop shoplifting. But most customers are unaware their faces are being scanned while they shop. Facial recognition isn’t ...

A new technical paper titled “Recent Progress in Structural Integrity Evaluation of Microelectronic Packaging Using Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM): A Review” was published by researchers at ...

(a) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nanoneedle probe used for the measurements. (b) Elasticity map of a 1 µm × 1 µm area on the nuclear surface, showing the change in elasticity ...

The video cassette tape was really the first successful home video format; discs just couldn’t compete back in the early days. That’s not to say nobody tried, however, with RCA’s VideoDisc a valiant ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...

Abstract: The scanning capacitance microscope technique described is based on a dC/dV measurement at the metal-semiconductor junction between a metallic probe and a sample. The probe forms part of a ...

As the semiconductor world excitingly explores the potential of new advanced package solutions for their intricate and novel designs, challenges arise from undetected defects caused by the complexity ...

Genoa (Italy), July 24, 2025 – Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered ...
