A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x.
Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures ...
Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...
Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

Scientists build atomic light switches to control single photons on demand
Quantum emitters work by releasing single photons, individual packets of light, on demand. This ability is critical because ...
The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...
On the left is an artistic depiction of a twisted double layer forming a moiré pattern created by overlapping 2D sheets; each layer’s structure is shown separately on the right. Researchers with the ...
Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...
