In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

A new breakthrough is transforming MXenes—ultra-thin, high-tech materials—into something far more powerful and precise.

Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a ...

(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 ...

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 ...
