world’s first scanning helium microscope (SHeM). An announcement in this regard
was made by the scientists belonging to the University of Newcastle in the
third week of May 2016.
Features:
- It would enable scientists to study human, animal and plant samples, as well as pharmaceutical drugs and computer chips in their true state.
- It is expected to provide new insights into structures at a microscopic level.
- It will be useful in major industries such as solar energy, defence, explosives and information technology.
- It will help with the clean-up of toxic or even radioactive spills, without harming the surrounding flora and fauna.
