While probing single molecules or atoms typically requires liquid helium—a costly resource—to build a stable environment, a new development from a joint Chinese research team changes the game. By ...
The challenge: seeing atoms without freezing the budgetOptical-coupled scanning probe microscopes (OC-SPM) can visualize individual atoms and probe ...
Scientists can now reliably chill specimens near absolute zero for over 10 hours while taking images resolved to the level of individual atoms with an electron microscope. The new capability comes ...

America has a helium problem
“Over the past decade, helium has become more scarce and more expensive,” one scientist who relies on the element told ...
Space-based probes are vital tools for enabling scientists to understand our planet and the wider Universe. For example, some satellites monitor the chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere, while a ...
A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. Scientists can now reliably chill ...
