Ultrafast laser shots act like dopants to create new electronic properties in materials.
Scientists reveal that coupling between electrons and atomic vibrations play a key role in this vexing phenomenon.
Near the onset of superconductivity, continuous exchange of electrons occurs between distinct, liquid-like magnetic phases in an iron-based superconductor.
Penetrating x-rays can image defects and phase changes during battery charging and discharging.
Computer-simulated atomic motion answers real-world questions like “How do things break?”
Oppositely charged polymer chains can be “right-handed,” “left-handed,” or have no “handedness” at all, which controls whether a solid or liquid forms.
Researchers use surface-sensitive signals to atomically resolve the structure of a rough surface.
First mixed matter/anti-matter probe aims to solve decade-old proton puzzle.
Nuclear physics research with radioactive beams enhanced by high-efficiency charge-breeding techniques.
Tiny “match-head” wires act as built-in light concentrators, enhancing solar cell efficiency.
For the first time, electron tomography reveals the 3D coordinates of individual atoms and defects in a material.
Bio-based molecular machines mechanically extrude tiny tubes and form networks, aiding in the design of self-repairing materials.
