Witness Helium atom diffraction like never before. All thanks to microscopic spatial resolution. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle just dropped a game-changing technique. This breakthrough has allowed scientists to dive even deeper into the weird world of atoms. Researchers were teaming up for almost ten years to cook up the scanning helium microscope. Matthew Bergin, a co-author, shares that the focus was on enhancing instrument resolution and exploring technological and biological samples. Surprisingly, the matter wave aspect of the helium beam had been somewhat overlooked…
