After decades of instability making them difficult to study, scientists at Oxford university have discovered a way to ...

New measurements are helping scientists predict how undiscovered elements might behave and how far the periodic table can ...

What's behind the odd magnetic fields observed around ice giants? Why, quasi-1D superionic hydrogen, of course.

Researchers used AI-guided electron microscopy to map atomic-level point defects in 3D within ultrathin MXene layers, advancing energy storage and electronics.

When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

Researchers also discovered that liquid gallium is not entirely disordered at its surface, forming subtle, layered atomic ...

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...

The optical properties of a thin layer of the semiconductor germanium-tin (GeSn) sandwiched between barriers of silicon-germanium-tin (SiGeSn), a structure known as a quantum well, have been studied ...

Eric Pipkin Detail of a cover illustration created by U of A for the journal Advanced Electronic Materials. The optical properties of a thin layer of the semiconductor germanium-tin (GeSn) sandwiched ...

Astronomers have glimpsed the inner structure of a dying star in a rare kind of cosmic explosion called an “extremely stripped supernova”. In a paper published today in Nature, Steve Schulze of ...

Electron transport in proteins serves as a biological power line that fuels cellular activities such as respiration and photosynthesis. Within cells, proteins act as conduits, shuttling electrons ...
