Sentences with phrase «techniques like electron»

Not exact matches

Over the last half - century, protein structure data from imaging techniques like X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy has mounted, and protein structure databases store at - the - ready information on sequencing and structure.

Much like in an old tube television where a beam of electrons moves over a phosphor screen to create images, the new microscopy technique works by scanning a beam of electrons over a sample that has been coated with specially engineered quantum dots.

Like other fusion techniques, Tri Alpha's device aims to confine a gas so hot that its atoms are stripped of electrons, producing a roiling mixture of electrons and ions known as plasma.

Much like in an old tube television where a beam of electrons moves over a phosphor screen to create images, the new technique works by scanning a beam of electrons over a sample that has been coated with the quantum dots.

Researchers at the Andalusian Institute for Earth Sciences at the University of Granada in Spain created this pine needle — like structure in the lab using a rapid - freeze technique inside an electron microscope.

The UT group will characterize the newly formed crystals using a whole range of techniques like Low Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

«It's not a glass lens like you'd find in a camera,» Fischer said, «but we call the technique «electron lensing» because, like a lens that focuses light, the electron beam changes the trajectory of the protons flying through it.»

What's more, the technique used to create the reconstruction, atomic electron tomography (which is like an incredibly high - resolution CT scan), lays the foundation for precisely mapping the atomic composition of other useful nanoparticles.

Because electron microscopy requires objects to be dried and flattened, the researchers used a fluorescence - based imaging technique called â $ œDNA PAINTâ $ to visualize the jungle - gym - like structures in solution.

Inventions like the scanning tunneling microscope, the atomic force microscope, single - molecule fluorescence techniques in biology and, going back further, the invention of scanning electron microscopes and transmission electron microscopes, has really revolutionized what can be done across a vast number of fields.
