Researchers led by Edwin Fohtung, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, have developed a new technique for revealing defects in nanostructured vanadium oxide, a widely ...
Not all ice is the same. The solid form of water comes in more than a dozen different鈥攕ometimes more, sometimes less crystalline鈥攕tructures, depending on the conditions of pressure and temperature in the environment. ...
A group of researchers led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and the University of Tokyo has created an unusual material鈥攁 soft crystal made of molecules known as a catenanes鈥攖hat behaves ...
A 70-year-old model used to predict the microstructure of materials doesn't work for today's materials, say Carnegie Mellon University researchers in Science. A microscopy technique developed by Carnegie Mellon and Argonne ...
A DESY-led research team has been using high-intensity X-rays to observe a single catalyst nanoparticle at work. The experiment has revealed for the first time how the chemical composition of the surface of an individual ...
A new laser speckle angular measurement (SAM) technique detailed in a paper in Light: Science and Applications demonstrates how slope error measurements can be reduced dramatically. This is important because X-ray mirrors ...
A team of researchers from Boston College has created a new metallic specimen where the motion of electrons flows in the same way water flows in a pipe鈥攆undamentally changing from particle-like to fluid-like dynamics, the ...
Complex carbon-based molecules are everywhere in the Cosmos.聽 How many of these molecules are formed is still something of a mystery, particularly for carbon molecules formed by nature on primordial Earth that gave rise ...
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have explored high-pressure behavior of shock-compressed tantalum at the Omega Laser Facility at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE). ...
Scientists at DESY have built a compact electron camera that can capture the inner, ultrafast dynamics of matter. The system shoots short bunches of electrons at a sample to take snapshots of its current inner structure. ...
