Figuring out certain aspects of a material's electron structure can take a lot out of a computer—up to a million CPU hours, in fact. A team of Yale researchers, though, are using a type of artificial ...

Volume electron microscopy (vEM; also referred to as volume EM) describes a set of high-resolution imaging techniques used in biomedical research to reveal the 3D structure of cells, tissues and small ...

The electronic structure of benzene is a battleground for competing viewpoints of electronic structure, with valence bond theory localising electrons within superimposed resonance structures, and ...

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 ...

What is the shape of an electron? If you recall pictures from your high school science books, the answer seems quite clear: an electron is a small ball of negative charge that is smaller than an atom.

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...
