(Nanowerk News) We, and everything around us consists of molecules. The molecules are so tiny that even a speck of dust contains countless of them. The more fascinating it is that nowadays it is ...

Atoms never stay still. Even in their lowest energy state, they vibrate due to quantum effects. Now, for the first time, scientists have directly observed this jittery movement in a complex ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are pioneering the design and synthesis of quantum ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single hydrogen ...

The difficulty with quantum spin liquids is that nature prefers order. In ordinary magnetic materials, unpaired electrons ...

First author Karl D. Briegel (l.) with Prof Dominik B. Bucher and their new microscope. The resolution of the new MRI microscope reaches ten-millionths of a meter - that is so fine that even the ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

An international research team has succeeded in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals ...

World’s Fastest Electron Microscope, Quantum Consciousness and the Origin of Life Host Erika Hamden explores quantum mysteries. We visit a University of Arizona lab where the world’s fastest electron ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...
