(Nanowerk News) X-ray microscopes are essential for examining components and materials because they can be used to detect changes and details in the material. Until now, however, it has been difficult ...

MXene materials are promising candidates for a new energy storage technology. However, the processes by which the charge ...

In a study published in the Journal of Nuclear Materials, LLNL and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists described how synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) can ...

New cathode materials are being developed to further increase the capacity of lithium batteries. Multilayer lithium-rich transition metal oxides (LRTMOs) offer particularly high energy density.

Magnetic skyrmions are tiny vortices-like of magnetic spin textures that - in principle - can be used for spintronic devices, for example very fast and energy-efficient data storage devices. But at ...

A synchrotron is a circular particle accelerator. Charged particles (electrons) are accelerated through many magnets in the device until they exceed the speed of light. These particles produce a ...

The global transmission electron microscope market is rapidly expanding due to the increasing demand for analytical and structural characterization of nanostructured materials and is projected to ...

This instrument is an advanced and digitally dedicated transmission electron microscope operating at 200kV with a field-emission gun. It is capable of an ultimate point-to-point resolution of 0.19 nm, ...

The left side of the figure shows nanotomography images of an LRTMO particle taken at the TXM of BESSY II before the first charging cycle (top) and after 10 charging cycles (bottom). In the simulation ...
