Researchers in Japan are the first to have succeeded in detecting single atoms using X-ray spectroscopy. Although a difficult technique, the work is an important step forward in studying and ...

Scientists have just developed a novel approach to determine and visualize the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of individual dopant atoms using SPring-8. Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology ...

Developing durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic media is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). This study reveals that the stability of ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, catching a substance that usually hides behind the familiar H2O formula in the ...

Scientists have discovered new clues to how and why groups of atoms and molecules may favor less symmetrical and more complex, flexible geometric patterns. The answer relates to a familiar concept in ...

Mrs Roberts: What do you think you're made of? Mr Spellman: Big question. Grit, determination, hard-working, handsome, charming, funny. Mrs Roberts: Well, I guess. But you're actually made of atoms.

Of the four fundamental forces, gravity is the most familiar—seemingly unchanging, ubiquitous, and maybe even a little boring. We first meet gravity while dropping our first toys, and later get to ...
