Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new large-scale instrument worth €800,000. The Kiel research groups led by Professors Michael Bauer and Kai Rossnagel are using it to expand their ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

DAS Solar and Hebei University have identified two types of pinholes in TOPCon solar cells: harmful recombinational pinholes, ...

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.

A meteorite chip sat in a small container, bathed in liquid, while the International Space Station floated overhead. Inside, ...

Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics.

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

Top Prize Editor’s Choice by Jesse Plotkin, Department of Neuroscience and Waggoner Center for Alcohol and Addiction Research ...

The structures that UpNano produces in the 3D printer are so small that they are recognizable neither with the naked eye nor with a strong optical microscope. Only under a scanning electron microscope ...
