A long-standing mystery in materials science is beginning to unravel as researchers directly probe the hidden atomic ...

"This video explores the development of the atomic model, looking at key discoveries made by Rutherford, Bohr and Chadwick. Over time, they identified the structure and different components which make ...

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 ...

Materials called relaxor ferroelectrics have been used for decades in technologies like ultrasounds, microphones, and sonar ...

(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.

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based directly on the interactions between their protons and neutrons. Published in ...
