The ability to describe the internal structure of atoms is important not only for understanding the composition of matter, but also for designing new experiments to explore fundamental physics.

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” inside a crystal’s atomic structure. The team discovered a rare system where ...

A team led by scientists at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester has developed the first ...

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 visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly ...

Understanding how a crack grows in metal requires simultaneously calculating the behavior of hundreds of billions of atoms: ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

Scientists sealed tiny pockets of liquid between graphene sheets to capture atomic-resolution videos of gold atoms moving at ...

An algorithm designed to find the most efficient path from atom to atom in a bizarre kind of crystal turns out to produce incredibly intricate mazes. As well as making mazes, the technique could help ...
