Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a ...

Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...

University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization ...

Comprised of a multitude of bronze rings and bands, this stationary sculpture evokes both the frenetic movement and the coalescent quality of atoms, that molecular building block. The 83" sculpture ...

Four qualities that elevate this paper from good to great in style are: its structure, captivity, soulfulness, and precision. Structured Outline, Paragraphs, and Sentences Structurally ...

Controlling the arrangement of atomic vacancies offers a new way to adjust electronic, magnetic, thermal, and hydrogen ...

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 ...

In the form of an organometallic complex – with their high symmetries and multiple covalent bonds with carbon – it's also much easier to probe the atom's electronic structure. However, the resulting ...

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?
