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 ...

Experience teaches humility. True expertise is built on mistakes and lessons learned. Niels Bohr, a renowned physicist, believed experts make all possible errors in a narrow field. This approach fuels ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

How atomic-layer deposition and hybrid dielectrics are redefining reliability and scaling for AI-era semiconductors.

Copper atoms trapped in MXene nanochannels remove 94.9% of bisphenol A in 5 minutes by concentrating reactants and lowering the energy needed for breakdown.

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing low-energy electrons after X-ray excitation.

An international research collaboration led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group has overturned the ...

The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. In A Nutshell The world’s most precise clocks are changing how we understand ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...
