Graphite is an incredibly important, versatile mineral, with uses spanning industries. Graphite is an essential component of many batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, and demand is only ...

An STM consists of an oscillating metallic tip that scans the surface of a sample while hovering about 1 nanometre above it. Electrons quantum mechanically tunnel across this tiny gap and the size of ...

Scientists in the United States placed fast charging for lithium-ion batteries under the microscope, finding that charging at higher rates can quickly damage the structure of a graphite anode, causing ...

PASADENA, Calif.-- More than a century ago, the development of the earliest motion picture technology made what had been previously thought "magical" a reality: capturing and recreating the movement ...

In electron microscopy, scientists bounce electrons off of objects and track their rebound to form images, including 3D models, of the objects in very fine detail, down to picometer scales. While ...
