Electron beam microscope directly writes nanoscale features in liquid with metal ink

Electron beam microscope directly writes nanoscale features in liquid with metal ink Oak Ridge TN (SPX) Oct 06, 2016 - Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are the first to harness a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to directly write tiny patterns in metallic "ink," forming features in liquid that are finer than half the width of a human hair. The automated process is controlled by weaving a STEM instrument's electron beam through a liquid-filled cell to sp ... more
