Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

Relativistic atomic structure and spectroscopy address the complex interplay of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of relativity to describe the behaviour of electrons in atoms, particularly ...

A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...

Imagine having a super-powered lens that uncovers hidden secrets of ultra-thin materials used in our gadgets. Research led by University of Florida engineering professor Megan Butala enables a novel ...

For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

What is X-Ray Crystallography? X-ray crystallography is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials. It involves directing a beam of X ...

(Nanowerk News) When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Max ...
