Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have unlocked a hidden power within silicon, the backbone of modern electronics. Their findings could transform how future devices are built, ...

Some mushrooms are sturdier than others, but it isn’t necessarily because of their chemistry – it’s how the filaments that ...

Excitons have been created by injecting an electron into a molecule, and then removing another one, in rapid succession.

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to unlock molecular mysteries.

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and molecules, and laser-wielding scientists are revealing the action ...

The shrinking scale of microelectronics necessitates temperature measurement at the nanometer level. Here, we report a new work mode of Scanning Joule Expansion Microscopy (SJEM) technique which ...

Scanning-tunnelling microscope with a superconducting tip could help uncover materials for next-generation quantum computers ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Bardeen Perturbation Theory of Tunneling The generally adopted theory of scanning probe microscopy to describe the tunneling process between tip and sample is based on the time-dependent first-order ...

Crystal Structure of Cu 2−δTe with van der Waals-like Interlayer Te–Te Interaction Revealed by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy ...

Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by ...

Confocal and multiphoton microscopy are effective techniques to obtain high-contrast images of 2-D sections within bulk tissue. However, scattering limits their application to depths only up to ∼1 ...
