Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

A multi-disciplinary team of researchers linked atomic-scale features to efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, offering insights that could help recover energy lost as waste heat in industrial and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...
