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

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 ...

Some materials behave unexpectedly. They crack differently than expected, or react in ways that are hard to explain. The ...

A theoretical study accepted by Physical Review Letters predicts that gravitational waves, the faint ripples in spacetime ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future ...

Researchers have shown that placing individual metal atoms on carefully chosen supports can dramatically sharpen the ...
