Maria Goeppert Mayer is remembered as one of the most important physicists of the twentieth century. She was born in Germany ...

For the modern technology leader, the quest for peak performance has traditionally been a matter of chemistry, an endless ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself to control the behavior of electrons. Much like the new patterns that emerge ...

Reinforced with steel fibres, the concrete becomes more durable when set in a pattern that copies a lobster shell, according to a new study from Melbourne’s RMIT University ...

Today we're looking at Electron Beam Lithography using a scanning electron microscope. Trump administration's changes to the CFPB cost Americans $19B, a new report says Turning Point alternative Super ...

Researchers at MIT have identified hidden atomic patterns within metal alloys. These patterns persist even after heating, cooling and deformation. The discovery challenges the belief that metal atoms ...

A computer simulation shows a metallic alloy where atoms (colored spheres) are arranged in subtle chemical patterns beneath a network of dislocations (green lines). These tangled defects move during ...

A theory is developed of the continuous radiation spectrum which accompanies nuclear capture of atomic electrons. It is shown that quantitative predictions of the spectrum intensities must take into ...

An illustration of the semiconductor material investigated for this study, which is composed of germanium with small amounts of silicon and tin. The germanium atoms are depicted as gray spheres, the ...
