Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

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 ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself to control the behavior of electrons. Much like the new patterns that emerge ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...

AN international team of scientists has created a molecule unlike any previously known, demonstrating how quantum computing ...

Electrons are defined as very small particles with a negative electrical charge that travels around the nucleus of an atom. This atom speck is responsible for several unique properties, such as wave ...

THE arrangement of the non-nuclear electrons in the atom is being determined by work along two lines: first, from the Bohr-Summerfeld theory of characteristic frequencies, and, secondly, from the ...
