Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers show that for the first time they have achieved atomic-scale observations of grain rotation in polycrystalline materials. Using state-of-the-art microscopy tools, the scientists were able ...

Imagine having a super-powered lens that uncovers hidden secrets of ultra-thin materials used in our gadgets. Research led by University of Florida engineering professor Megan Butala enables a novel ...

Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance whatsoever, commonly requiring extremely low temperatures. They are used in a wide range of domains, from medical applications to a central ...

The first commercially produced microscope to incorporate diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers for quantum technology is Qnami's ProteusQ™. It allows for atomic-level tabletop examination of magnetic ...

Material engineers and scientists have long wanted to understand the atomic structures of amorphous solids such as glass, rubber and plastics more fully. Unlike the structures of crystalline materials ...

Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," pre-deformed shape when heated. They are used in a broad range of applications, such ...

San Francisco-based startup Mat3ra raised $3 million in seed funding led by Draper Associates for an AI-based platform that helps companies model new materials at the atomic level. Mat3ra, formerly ...
