Argonne scientists have unveiled new methods for controlling material properties. The breakthrough enables researchers to ...
Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a ...
University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization ...
The arrangement of small molecules—known as ligands—around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as catalysts in the synthesis ...

IN a letter to NATURE of November 25 last Dr. Norman Campbell discusses the problem of the possible consistency of the assumptions about the motion and arrangement of electrons in the atom ...
Argonne researchers have shown that they can use light to temporarily alter the crystal symmetry within lead sulfide quantum dots. This process reduces the off-centering of lead atoms and affects the ...
DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?
