What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

Understanding how a crack grows in metal requires simultaneously calculating the behavior of hundreds of billions of atoms: ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan employed atomic-resolution secondary electron (SE) imaging to examine the atomic structure of the topmost layer of materials, uncovering differences from ...
