Scientists and engineers collaborating across seven universities and two national laboratories have made a fundamental discovery about the atomic structure and vibrations in multilayer nanostructures, ...

They allow researchers to test the predictive power of our most fundamental understanding of atomic structure. These efforts could lead to new insights into QED in for bound systems—that is, in ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, improving understanding of artificial rain and snow. (Nanowerk News) No one can ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows to obtain images and movies showing proteins at work, however with limited resolution. The developed BioAFMviewer software opens the opportunity to use the ...

Scientists have revealed how gold’s atomic structure shifts when the metal is crushed under pressures 10 million times greater than Earth’s atmosphere. The study, led by the Lawrence Livermore ...

For nearly 50 years, physicists have dreamed of the secrets they could unlock by raising the energy state of an atom's nucleus using a laser. The achievement would allow today's atomic clocks to be ...

Researchers at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory in Paris have made the most precise measurement of one of the fundamental constants, called the fine-structure constant, providing physicists with a vital ...
