Much like the traditional scanning electron microscope (SEM), the field emission scanning electron microscope uses electrons to illuminate a sample, instead of visible light as is used in optical ...

Figuring out certain aspects of a material's electron structure can take a lot ... Qiu and her team decided to focus on the electrons' wave function, which mathematically describes the quantum ...

Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

Its structure, as revealed by the electron microscope, mirrors its function It is the mitochondrion, a small body which appears to play a central role in the oxidation of foodstuff.

It identified a second fundamental function of complex I ... specifically impairs proton-sodium exchange without affecting electron transport or proton pumping via the complex.
