Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...

Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the ...

The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in advanced technologies such as chemical sensors, ...

Abstract: I love a good comeback story of technological innovation, struggle, failure, and redemption. The invention of the scanning capacitance microscope has all of that.

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and ...

Using atom manipulation with a scanning probe microscope, the researchers created an exotic molecule, that is C13Cl2, with a ...

Twisted electronic states in a molecule realized experimentally and modeled on quantum hardware.

Published today in Science, the discovery marks the creation and observation of the first molecule with a half-Möbius electronic topology.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a 4D-STEM workflow that can isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals buried inside dense, tangled clusters, ...
