The positions of all the atoms in a sample of a metallic glass have been measured experimentally — fulfilling a decades-old dream for glass scientists, and raising the prospect of fresh insight into ...

The DIGIT imaging tool could enable the design of quantum devices and shed light on atomic-scale processes in cells and tissues. (Nanowerk News) If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then ...

Scientists have finally glimpsed chemistry at its smallest level after capturing the first-ever X-ray of a single atom. Atoms are the tiniest particles in our universe, and they're the basic ...

Researchers have imaged an aquareovirus structure at 3.3 Angstroms, the first published instance of a virus imaged at such a high resolution. This research demonstrates the first time that high enough ...

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) provides a main route to generate attosecond (10-18 s) pulses, which have been considered “the world’s fastest film camera” for imaging the movement of electrons.

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light — which is a thousand times larger than the atom’s width — is comparable to an ocean wave. The light wave can dwarf ...
