Using tools that enable nuclear physics research into the heart of matter, scientists created a material for applications from aerospace to solar panels.
The neutron skin of the nucleus calcium-48 is much thinner than previously thought.
Herbivore digestion involves a large variety of enzymes that break woody plants into biofuel building blocks.
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.
Novel technique accurately distinguishes rare material property linked to improving sensors and computers.
