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 ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape semiconductor failure investigations.

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...

Proof-of-concept trial in a single patient shows that cells can survive transplantation without immunosuppression ...

FTIR microscopy is a robust analytical method used to identify contaminants at specific locations within a sample. By using visual imaging to pinpoint the exact location of contamination, an infrared ...

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, ...
