For electron microscopes, the traditional approaches to improving resolution are increasing the energy of the electron beam, up to a point where

Gold nanostars are a class of plasmonic nanomaterials that show promise in surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based applications and hot electron

A research team used chemical vapor deposition—with a twist—to localize control of the synthesis process and allow evolutionary, or

As electronic devices shrink, more precise semiconductor synthesis and characterization are needed to improve these devices. APT can identify atom

The terahertz spectral window (100 gigahertz to 10 terahertz) is attracting attention for its potential use in submillimeter-wave communication and

Tuning the electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), a process known as doping, is emerging as an effective means for

In semi-overlapping gold-gold collisions at RHIC, more particles emerge from the “equator” than perpendicular to the collision

Astatine-211 is produced by alpha beam irradiation of bismuth target material. The University of Washington has one of only a few cyclotrons in the

Radium is a bone-seeking radioelement, due to its chemical similarity to calcium, the main component of hydroxyapatite, the bone mineral. Radium is

CMS observes Higgs boson decays into bottom quarks, furthering our knowledge of how the particles that make up matter behave.
