Researchers are probing the newest microscope technology to further improve measurement accuracy at the nanoscale -- a critical capability for setting standards and improving production in the ...
Scientists have found an exciting new way to manipulate and design materials of the future at the atomic level and change the way they behave at a larger scale that opens the way to new applications ...
A method is needed to create ribbons narrow enough to create the quantum confinement that yields the desired bandgap. There are drawbacks, however, to many of the techniques used to pattern graphene ...
Scientists at Bielefeld University's Faculty of Physics have succeeded for the first time in imaging the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus with a helium ion microscope. In contrast to the more conventional ...
August 5, 2008 Carl Zeiss SMT impressed the Wall Street Journal (and us), last year with their award winning helium ion microscope, which provides significantly higher resolution images than competing ...
At the present time patterning of graphene is accomplished by techniques such as STM or electron beam lithography, but these suffer from throughput and process control constraints which limit the ...
(Nanowerk News) Helium ion beam (HIB) technology plays an important role in the extreme fields of nanofabrication. Due to high resolution and sensitivity, HIB nanofabrication technology is widely used ...
The two-dimensional electronic properties of graphene presents the potential for it to function as a conductor, a transistor, a quantum dot, a molecular switch, or other devices. Since graphene shows ...
In Wednesday's issue of Nature, a new paper describes a potentially useful way of measuring the interactions between normal matter and exotic particles, like antiprotons and unstable items like kaons ...
Scientists at Bielefeld University's Faculty of Physics have succeeded for the first time in imaging the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus with a helium ion microscope. In contrast to the more conventional ...
Just as test pilots push planes to explore their limits, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are probing the newest microscope technology to further improve ...
The ORION helium ion beam is said to be “the brightest illumination source ever created by man.” This is due to the fact that it originates from a region less than one angstrom, (0.1 nanometers), in ...
