Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.
Scientists in Germany's Max Planck Institute (MPI) showed that metal surfaces can reshape what atomic motion looks like at ...
New first-principles simulations reveal how metallic surfaces reshape nanoscale vibrational imaging, advancing the ...
The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...
Scientists have just developed a novel approach to determine and visualize the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of individual dopant atoms using SPring-8. Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology ...
Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) are amazing tools which can manipulate singular atoms, but they cannot characterize these atoms as they act only on the outer electron shell. Meanwhile X-ray ...
Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...
Scientists have discovered new clues to how and why groups of atoms and molecules may favor less symmetrical and more complex, flexible geometric patterns. The answer relates to a familiar concept in ...
(Nanowerk News) Unexpected shapes of mesoscale atoms -- structures built of microdroplets encapsulated within microdroplets -- have been created at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish ...
