New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Researchers from Skoltech Engineering Center's Hierarchically Structured Materials Laboratory have developed a new method to ...

The defective coating analyzed in the example presented here was sourced from a car door that had been manufactured from ultra-low-carbon, titanium-stabilized steel. The coating is peeling off (Figure ...

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

Wet wipes persist for more than five weeks in water, challenging 'biodegradability' claims on the packaging, a new Cardiff ...

Researchers in the US have used quantum chemistry to explain why ozone catalysts degrade during water electrolysis.

For this film coating, methane and hydrogen gases were fed into a reactor chamber that contained silicon wafers spin-coated with a nanodiamond solution. High-power microwave radiation energized the ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

The microscope combines a big telecentric photolithography lens with a large tube lens to create sharp, detailed images of large and curved samples. These lenses project the image onto a flat array of ...
