During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Using short laser pulses, researchers have imaged the exact moment an ammonia molecule bends and sheds a hydrogen atom.

Unlike Scanning Electron Microscopy that bounces electrons off the surface of a sample to produce an image, Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) shoot the electrons completely through the sample.

Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

Researchers extend single-atom electron spin resonance with STM from atoms to molecules, opening the power of synthetic chemistry to engineer their quantum states. Scaling down information devices to ...

What is the shape of an electron? If you recall pictures from your high school science books, the answer seems quite clear: an electron is a small ball of negative charge that is smaller than an atom.

You may be familiar with matryoshka dolls: nested sets of painted figurines that fit within painted figurines. In the case of wooden dolls, the concept is pretty straightforward: hollow out a large ...
