A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

An international team of researchers built a highly sensitive quantum microscope and used it to directly observe, for the ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

An electron microscopy image can capture atoms arranged in a crystal lattice or defects threading through a semiconductor ...

In classical physics, a vacuum is a total void—a true manifestation of nothingness. But quantum physics says that empty space isn’t really empty. Instead, it’s buzzing with “virtual” particles ...

Biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural waste, has long been valued for improving soil and capturing carbon.

Reflected electron beams at quasi-perpendicular shocks generate a cascade of instabilities, contributing to their self-confinement and acceleration.

What Is Electron Beam Lithography? Electron beam lithography (EBL) is a technique for creating high-resolution patterns on a semiconductor substrate by directing a beam of electrons to selectively ...
