Scanning tunneling microscopy to visualize electronic states in Ga1‑xMnxAs. The electronic states in disordered conductors on the verge of localization are predicted to exhibit critical spatial characteristics indicative of the proximity to a metal‑insulator phase transition.

Dual Wave/Particle Nature of Light. A Cambridge team have built a semiconductor chip that converts electrons into a quantum state that emits light but is large enough to see by eye. Because their quantum superfluid is simply set up by shining laser beams on the device, it can lead to practical ultrasensitive detectors. Their research is published today, 08 January in Nature Physics. Credit: Meeblax from Flickr Source: Seeing quantum mechanics with the naked eye, Physorg.com

Berkeley About the TEAM Project: In December 1959, physicist Richard Feynman presented his famous lecture “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom”, now seen by many as the founding vision for nanoscience. When he spoke about electron microscopy, Feynman posed this challenge: “The electron microscope is not quite good enough, with the greatest care and effort, it can only resolve about 10 angstroms … Is there no way to make the electron microscope more powerful?” In 2009, exactly 50 years later, a group of scientists will meet the Feynman challenge with delivery of the TEAM microscope, an instrument to provide unprecedented opportunities to observe atomic scale order, electronic structure and dynamics of individual nanostructures.
