Haozhe "Harry" Wang's electrical and computer engineering lab at Duke welcomed an unusual new lab member this fall: artificial intelligence. Using publicly available AI foundation models such as ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

New hybrid nano-microscope by KRISS allows simultaneous measurement of optical and electrical properties. Expected to accelerate nano-scale research on advanced equipment and materials such as bilayer ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

Researchers have developed a way to visualise boron nitride layers that are one atom thick. These ultrathin sheets are typically almost impossible to detect with standard optical microscopes. The team ...

A fascinating material: Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a very important material for the large and thriving field of two-dimensional (2D) materials research and emerging new devices. The challenge: ...
