Established surface-science tools could help industrial scientists to fast-track the evaluation of advanced materials for energy-storage applications Surface physics: the OCI team has integrated a UHV ...

In a combination of experiments and theory the diffusion of individual atoms in periodic systems was understood for the first time. The interaction of individual atoms with light at ultralow ...

Physicists at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany have observed how individual atoms diffuse through a gas for the first time, and how individual collisions between particles affect diffusion.

Heat has always been something we thought we understood. From baking bread to running engines, the idea seemed simple: heat ...

Ethylene is traditionally obtained through steam cracking of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. Recently, the semi-hydrogenation ...

Transport at low and zero frequency is controlled by the longest-lived excitations carrying, for example, charge or heat. In a conventional metal, the longest-lived excitations are quasiparticles. The ...
