The researchers used state-of-the art attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS), an ultrafast method for examining electronic motion, tostudy the collective behavior of electrons in the ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Transition metals have many applications in engineering, electrochemistry and catalysis. To understand their properties, the interplay between atomic localization and delocalization of the outer ...

Humans have been making metal alloys for thousands of years, and most of us can conjure a rough mental image of the ...

Scientists have long sought to unravel the mysteries of strange metals—materials that defy conventional rules of electricity and magnetism. Now, a team of physicists at Rice University has made a ...

Transition metals and non-ferrous metals such as copper, nickel and cobalt are not only suitable as materials in engineering and technology, but also for a wide range of applications in ...
