Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...
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 ...
Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a ...
If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than ...
(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.
Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to help probe ...
A team of UC Riverside engineers has discovered why a key solid-state battery material stays remarkably cool during operation ...
Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...
Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...
