Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

Scientists in Germany have shed light on how nanoscale imaging techniques like tip-enhanced Raman ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

The performance and stability of smartphones and artificial intelligence (AI) services depend on how uniformly and precisely ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...

New first-principles simulations reveal how metallic surfaces reshape nanoscale vibrational imaging, advancing the ...

To detect radio signals using a gas, researchers first have to perform a quantum magic trick. They use a sequence of lasers to inflate a tiny atom — typically a cesium atom — into a giant version of ...

A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using simulated electron microscopy data.

MXenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials whose properties depend sensitively on the atoms bound to their surfaces. A new synthesis approach now allows researchers to control these ...

In a quantum world drowning in lab demos, Infleqtion is making a different bet—real hardware, real missions, real deployments ...

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...
