Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, ...

Traditionally, X-ray methods require at least 10,000 atoms to generate a detectable signal. This is because the X-ray signal ...

The discovery challenges basic assumptions about how metals solidify In A Nutshell Liquid metal contains stationary atoms: ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

Patrick Kaczmarek, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in applied physics and mechanical engineering, was awarded a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) to work on a project ...

Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually advance a carbide cutter and cut metal inside the vacuum chamber of my SEM.

For years, scientists thought Saturn’s moon Titan hid a global ocean beneath its frozen surface. A new look at Cassini data ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Starlight and stardust are not enough to drive the powerful winds of giant stars, transporting the building blocks of life ...

Scientists are learning how the brain knows what’s happening throughout the body, and how that process might go awry in some psychiatric disorders. By Carl Zimmer Last year, Ardem Patapoutian got a ...
