MXenes are an important recent discovery in two-dimensional (2D) materials research. Since the unique 2D material class was discovered, electron microscopy techniques have been the primary method used ...

We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...

Microscopy techniques have been around for many decades and are always improving. The field itself has had to improve because the samples being analyzed have been getting smaller and smaller, ...

A traditional optical microscope can be used to achieve a maximum magnification of about 800–1000x due to the nature of light. Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can be used for further ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...
