Physicists have turned a long-standing imaging workhorse into a kind of nanoscale chisel, using a razor-precise ion beam to ...

Sponges build their skeletons in a completely different way than other animals do, researchers have found. In fact, the building process looks a lot like the construction of human-made buildings, ...

A new low-damage imaging technique developed at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) is opening the door to detailed analysis of fragile nanomaterials for the first time.
