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

Imagine a light switch so small it is made from just a few atoms, and so precise it releases light one particle at a time. These tiny switches, called quantum emitters, are considered one of the core ...

Researchers have captured the most detailed look yet at how gold’s atomic structure changes under some of the highest pressures ever achieved in a laboratory. The new findings offer rare insight into ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a world first, scientists have filmed atoms in motion, capturing their thermal vibrations in real-time with stunning clarity.

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 ...

Notably, these properties can be maintained even at the atomic scale. Meanwhile, these properties also pose challenges in achieving highly precise and smooth etching of HFO2 films. Now, a group of ...

Researchers at LLNL have developed a method to control the atomic-scale structure of metals during additive manufacturing.

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside cells. But how these molecular vehicles identify and bind to the right cargo ...
