A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips. Researchers at Cornell University have achieved something chipmakers have ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a University of Michigan Engineering and Université Paris-Saclay study published in ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...

Physicists in China have unveiled new clues to the origins of high-temperature superconductivity in an iron-based material just a single unit-cell thick. Led by Qi-Kun Xue and Lili Wang at Tsinghua ...

AMES, Iowa – A tiny, solid sample of a drug, complete with active and inactive ingredients, spun at 50,000 revolutions per ...

Researchers have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures within specially designed, ultrathin bilayer 2D materials. (Nanowerk News) Researchers with the Oak Ridge ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

In a new study ( Nature Physics, "Orbital Seebeck effect induced by chiral phonons" ), researchers developed the most ...

In the era of climate crisis, hydrogen vehicles are emerging as an alternative for eco-friendly mobility. However, the fuel cell, known as the "heart of the hydrogen car," still faces limitations of ...
