A newly developed carbon nanotube material could help lower the cost of fuel cells, catalytic converters and similar energy-related technologies.

Drawing on powerful computational tools and a state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscope, a team of materials science and engineering researchers has discovered a new nanometer-scale atomic structure.

They won’t be coming soon to a multiplex near you, but movies showing the growth of platinum nanocrystals at the atomic-scale in real-time have blockbuster potential.

A new x-ray microscope probes the inner intricacies of materials smaller than human cells and creates unparalleled high-resolution 3D images.

Live cell imaging is made possible by a confluence of advances in imaging, computing, microscopy, and reagent technologies, connected by a deeper understanding and appreciation for cellular processes.

When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron microscope, he compares it to fine-tuning the gearshift and brakes of a racing bicycle.
