Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed to global warming and led ...

Paul V. Galvin professor Petra Fromme in ASU’s  School of Molecular Sciences (SMS), and her team, have taken an important step toward improving technologies that pull carbon dioxide directly from the ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

The diamond was around 0.04 inches in size and exhibited more sturdiness and resistance compared to typical cubic diamonds.

After decades of debates over the existence and properties of one of the world’s ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Abstract: Electromagnetic diffraction of slotted conductive strips is studied using the subdomain method. The subdomain method is based on Green’s second identity, which decomposes the geometry into ...

Phosphate rock is a strategically critical non-renewable resource, underpinning global food security and numerous industrial ...

Human bones discovered across southern China and Southeast Asia were intentionally smoke-dried over fire, with some dating back mor ...

Abstract: Understanding materials properties depends largely on the ability to determine its components, and in particular its mineral phases. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful tool for ...
