Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

Scientists in Germany have shed light on how nanoscale imaging techniques like tip-enhanced Raman ...

Scientists have just developed a novel approach to determine and visualize the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of individual dopant atoms using SPring-8. Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

Scientists have discovered new clues to how and why groups of atoms and molecules may favor less symmetrical and more complex, flexible geometric patterns. The answer relates to a familiar concept in ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) are amazing tools which can manipulate singular atoms, but they cannot characterize these atoms as they act only on the outer electron shell. Meanwhile X-ray ...

(Nanowerk News) Unexpected shapes of mesoscale atoms -- structures built of microdroplets encapsulated within microdroplets -- have been created at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish ...

The ancient Greek and Indian philosophers who first conjectured that matter was made of tiny little bits of stuff would not believe that now, more than 25 centuries later, we can actually see them.

Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably ...
