Researchers have discovered a new class of materials -- called intercrystals -- with unique electronic properties that could ...

In solar science, a little structural harmony goes a long way. By finding the atomic equivalent of a perfect handshake ...

Instead of weakening the structure, these broken bonds provide just the right charge balance to keep the material stable, acting like an atomic-scale glue. Like magnets, polarized materials have ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have used a method called crystallography to determine the atomic structure of materials. The method works by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample and ...

This work introduces a magnetic conductive atomic force microscopy (mc-AFM) measurement platform for determining spin polarizations, arising from the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect ...

Their new algorithm enables the reconstruction of the atomic structure of materials from degraded diffraction patterns of fragments of nanocrystals. A feat that was previously deemed impossible ...

One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years ...

Julie Miller, a physics Ph.D. student at WSU and the study's lead author, explains that a phase transition is when a material changes its structure at the atomic level—much like how water turns ...

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale ... of every atom and every bond within a particular structure. If one element was out of place, it ...
