Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS ... The scattered electrons are detected and analyzed to produce an energy loss spectrum (graph at the top), revealing the sample's composition and properties.

Protons play a central role in energy production within cells. A team of researchers has discovered that their movement is ...

Using a novel type of ultrafast microscope, a team from Regensburg has now succeeded in directly observing with atomic resolution on ultrafast timescales how the energy of a single electron is ...

Normally, when electrons are "hit" by photons, packets of light, the electron gets a little boost of energy. But now imagine the electron is moving very fast and the light is very intense.

While moving, electrons frequently collide with impurity atoms or vacancies in the crystal lattice of the wire, and convert part of their motional energy into lattice vibrations. The energy lost ...

This combined unit is able to perform atomic resolution observation at an energy resolution of 0.2 eV -- the highest resolution ever recorded for non-monochromatic electron guns -- with a high ...
