A novel technique under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses a relatively inexpensive optical microscope to quickly and cheaply analyze nanoscale dimensions with nanoscale measurement sensitivity.   view more (2008-10-30)

Wellcome Trust grant to investigate degenerative brain diseases known as `tauopathies`
Dr Julian Thorpe, head of the Electron Microscopy Lab at the University of Sussex, will be working towards a better understanding of degenerative brain diseases thanks to a £247,000 grant from the Wellcome Trust. He is taking a very close look at a possible contributory cause of nerve cell... view more (2002-04-17)

Modified electron microscope identifies atoms
A new electron microscope recently installed in Cornell's Duffield Hall is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms in a crystal and see how those atoms bond to one another. And in living color.   view more (2008-02-22)

By color-coding atoms, new Cornell electron microscope promises big advance in materials analysis
A new electron microscope recently installed in Cornell's Duffield Hall is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms in a crystal and see how those atoms bond to one another. And in living color.   view more (2008-02-22)

Free Electronic Microscopes for Primary Schools
Every maintained primary school will get a free digital microscope as part of Science Year, Schools Minister Catherine Ashton announced today. The microscope forms the second instalment of the ‘Kit Pot’ fund which offers science teachers equipment to inspire young people in the... view more (2002-01-09)

A virtual atlas of breast histopathology: An application of web based virtual microscopy
Researchers at the universities of Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) have developed a new virtual microscopy system, which allows users digitize entire microscope glass slide specimens, and then create a virtual slide with the quality and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a... view more (2004-11-26)

Breaking the nanometer barrier in X-ray microscopy
Argonne National Laboratory scientists in collaboration with Xradia have created a new X-ray microscope technique capable of observing molecular-scale features, measuring less than a nanometer in height.   view more (2006-11-10)

Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields.   view more (2007-11-02)

Asian Breakthrough for Swedish Nanotech Company
Nanofactory Instruments, a spin-off company from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, has recently had a breakthrough in Asia. Through two very prestigious contracts from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Beijing University, both world leading nanotech... view more (2002-02-27)

Video shows buckyballs form by 'shrink wrapping'
The birth secret of buckyballs -- hollow spheres of carbon no wider than a strand of DNA -- has been caught on tape by researchers at Sandia National Laboratory and Rice University. An electron microscope video and computer simulations show that "shrink-wrapping" is the key; buckyballs... view more (2007-10-29)

New technique yields more detailed picture of chromatin structure
University of Illinois researchers have developed a technique for imaging cells under an electron microscope that yields a sharper image of the structure of chromatin, the tightly wound bundle of genetic material and proteins that makes up the chromosomes.   view more (2008-04-17)
