Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

Researchers confirm phosphorus chains exhibit true one-dimensional electron behavior. Tightly packing the chains could trigger a semiconductor-to-metal transition.

In collaboration with IBM Research, a process for automated visual inspection was developed. The core of the project is based ...

A new perspective article outlines a roadmap for harnessing light emission from individual molecules. By precisely ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

Each molecule has its own unmistakable tone – a vibrational “fingerprint” that reflects not only its chemical structure but also the nanoscale environment around it. But the voices of individual ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Many technological applications, such as sensors and batteries, greatly rely on electrochemical reactions. Improving these technologies depends on understanding how electrochemical reactions work.

Engineers at Stanford University have developed a high-efficiency, battery/solar-operated, autonomous microscope with integrated artificial intelligence that automatically diagnoses malaria in blood ...

An international research team has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings ...
