Scientists have assembled single atoms of different elements, thus forming nanostructures of predefined size and composition. The nanostructures engineered and characterized constitute a promising ...

Atoms found deep inside our planet argue that parts of “proto-Earth,” the early version of our planet, still survive inside the mantle.

ON June 1 the annual Halley lecture at the University of Oxford was delivered by Prof. Henry Norris Russell, professor of astronomy and director of the University Observatory, Princeton, on the ...

ISS involves the bombardment of a surface with a beam of ions, typically noble gas ions like helium or neon, under vacuum conditions. When these ions collide with the sample surface, they are either ...

The precise measurement of an exotic atom in the laboratory has refined scientists’ understanding of neutron stars, which are among the universe’s most extreme objects. The study, published January 22 ...

Two ways of looking into the amino acid composition in a database – one based on counting residues and another on the number of atoms each residue contributes to the total – give quite different ...

In the decade since their discovery at Drexel University, the family of two-dimensional materials called MXenes has shown a great deal of promise for applications ranging from water desalination and ...

Researchers’ new method that delivers more control over halide perovskites could transform how solar cells, LEDs and lasers ...

While the moon lacks any breathable air, it does host a barely-there atmosphere. Since the 1980s, astronomers have observed a very thin layer of atoms bouncing over the moon's surface. This delicate ...
