Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Electron impact ionisation processes are fundamental interactions in which an energetic electron collides with an atom or ion, resulting in the ejection of one or more electrons. These mechanisms are ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

Electron capture processes in ion–atom collisions constitute a critical phenomenon in understanding the interplay between charged particles and neutral atoms. In these collisions, an ion may capture ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single hydrogen ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
