Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...

A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without ...

Scientists achieve optical measurements at atomic scales using quantum electron tunneling, surpassing conventional microscopy limits by nearly 100,000 times with standard lasers.

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By ...

Entangled atoms, separated in space, are giving scientists a powerful new way to measure the world with stunning precision.

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...
