The positions of all the atoms in a sample of a metallic glass have been measured experimentally — fulfilling a decades-old dream for glass scientists, and raising the prospect of fresh insight into ...
The DIGIT imaging tool could enable the design of quantum devices and shed light on atomic-scale processes in cells and tissues. (Nanowerk News) If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then ...
The Bohr model, introduced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913, was a key step on the journey to understand atoms. Ancient Greek thinkers already believed that matter was composed of tiny basic ...
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel method for investigating the internal structure of atoms and discovered ...
Researchers have imaged an aquareovirus structure at 3.3 Angstroms, the first published instance of a virus imaged at such a high resolution. This research demonstrates the first time that high enough ...
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) provides a main route to generate attosecond (10-18 s) pulses, which have been considered “the world’s fastest film camera” for imaging the movement of electrons.
Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still fully or partially filled with electrons. Studying the production mechanisms, ...
A surprising discovery about a quantum well of germanium-tin with silicon-germanium-tin barriers points to the potential role ...
You've probably seen videos showing characters walking through walls like ghosts. Upon closer inspection, atoms consist of a vast majority of empty space. So why is physical reality so different?
