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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that ...

This discrepancy highlights the need for hybridization. Hybridization postulates that atomic orbitals mix to form new, ...

Researchers’ new method that delivers more control over halide perovskites could transform how solar cells, LEDs and lasers ...

A computational model of the more than 26 million atoms in a DNA-packed viral capsid expands our understanding of virus structure and DNA dynamics, insights that could provide new research avenues and ...

The shapes of atomic orbitals also affect the spectroscopic properties of atoms and molecules. The absorption and emission of ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...
