The interaction volume of a characteristic X-Ray emission can be seen in Figure 1. Typical EDS analysis in an SEM is carried out at relatively high energy (greater than 10 kV), which results in a vast ...

Locard’s exchange principle, which states that “every contact leaves a trace” drives the concept of “trace evidence” in the forensic sciences. Trace evidence is usually classed as fine particles, ...

Mediation and conditional process analyses have become popular approaches for examining the mechanisms by which effects operate and the factors that influence them. Mediation and conditional process ...

Nanofibers have gained significant attention for different applications, such as barrier fabrics and high-efficiency filters. In biomedical applications, nanofibers have been used as drug delivery ...

Tiny etched structures sit at the heart of many modern sensors and microsystems, but judging whether those structures were made correctly still depends heavily on slow human inspection.

In the world of nanotechnology, where structures are measured in billionths of a meter, precise imaging and measurement techniques are essential. Critical Dimension Scanning Electron Microscopy ...

Continued scaling of integrated circuits to smaller dimensions is still a viable way to increase compute power, achieve higher memory cell density, or reduce power consumption. These days, chip makers ...

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an essential model organism in biomedical research, favored due to its genetic similarity to humans and cost-effective maintenance. With approximately 75% of its genome ...

A physics-constrained AI model called VLSet-AE automates feature extraction from DRIE cross-sections with 96 percent accuracy ...
