«By allowing us to grow structures much faster with a broad range of precursors, this technique really opens up a whole new direction for making a hierarchy of complex three - dimensional structures
with nanoscale resolution at the rate that is demanded for manufacturing scalability,» said Andrei Fedorov, a professor in the George Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Using ECT, researchers can instantly freeze cells, preserving them in a form that is extremely close to their natural state, and then image them with
nanoscale resolution in three dimensions.
Nanoscale resolution makes it possible to characterize the local temperature during phase transitions in materials — an impossibility with techniques that do not have the spatial resolution of HERMES spectroscopy.
«It is especially true in organics and organic / inorganic hybrids that the morphology of these materials is complex and
requires nanoscale resolution to correlate morphological features to functions.»
These new instruments and techniques are essential in the development of innovative nano - systems because they
provide nanoscale resolution in a local vicinity while measuring electrical properties at both nano - and macro-scales.
It was probably the first instrument to
achieve nanoscale resolution without using electrons or other high - energy beams that can damage what you are observing, right?
The feat opens up new possibilities in silicon carbide because its nanoscale defects are a leading platform for new technologies that seek to use quantum mechanical properties for quantum information processing, sensing magnetic and electric fields and temperature
with nanoscale resolution, and secure communications using light.
An international team of scientists determined the location, with
nanoscale resolution, of two S. oneidensis MR - 1 surface proteins, MtrC and OmcA.
They essentially figured out a way to adapt electron microscopy, which goes down to
nanoscale resolutions, for brain imaging.
By devising a fluorescence microscopy technique with single - molecule resolution, researchers at Cornell University have created a method for pinpointing the sites of catalytic reactions with
nanoscale resolution.
With the technique he and his colleagues successfully imaged a collagen network with
nanoscale resolution — despite its optical density — as well as quantifying the mechanical properties of the structure's transverse fluctuations for the first time.
Prof. Youcef - Toumi's team designs a high - speed microscope that produces images with a nanoscale resolution
