Image processing method to enhance visualization of electron microscope images of rubber materials
Provided by: University of Tsukuba Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a new imaging method to clearly visualize nanoscale structures within rubber materials. The research is published in the journal ACS Applied Nano Materials. Traditional electron microscopy often produces noisy images that obscure the internal contours of the rubber. The proposed method succeeded in capturing the reticular molecular…

NOAA releases images of world’s first operational space-based coronagraph
Credit: NOAA Headquarters NOAA today shared the first images from Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), a powerful solar telescope aboard its new GOES-19 satellite. CCOR-1, the world’s first operational space-based coronagraph, began observing the sun’s corona, the faint outermost layer of the solar atmosphere, on September 19, 2024. CCOR-1 monitors the corona and predicts coronal mass ejections (CMEs). A CME is a…
