Ultracold atoms moving through a carefully designed arrangement of laser beams will jiggle slightly as they go, two NIST scientists have predicted. If observed, this never-before-seen "jitterbug" ...

MIT physicists have trapped electrons in a pure crystal, marking the first achievement of an electronic flat band in a three-dimensional material. The rare electronic state is thanks to a special ...

3D trap: Physicists have trapped electrons in a pure crystal, marking the first achievement of an electronic flat band in a three-dimensional material. The rare electronic state comes thanks to a ...

(Nanowerk News) The arrangement of electrons in matter, known as the electronic structure, plays a crucial role in fundamental but also applied research such as drug design and energy storage. However ...

Silicene consists of a single layer of silicon atoms. In contrast to the ultra-flat material graphene, which is made of carbon, silicene shows surface irregularities that influence its electronic ...

Crystals have fascinated people through the ages. Who hasn't admired the complex patterns of a snowflake at some point, or the perfectly symmetrical surfaces of a rock crystal The magic doesn't stop ...

For the first time, scientists have seen the exact locations of more than 23,000 atoms in a particle that's small enough to fit inside the wall of a single cell. Using a scanning electron microscope, ...

PROF. W. L. BRAGG, in the twenty-fifth annual May Lecture before the Institute of Metals on May 8, dealt with the inner structure, or atomic arrangement, of metals and alloys. In general, when one ...

THE history of the development of that department of science which it is now usual to call stereochemistry is extremely interesting. While it shows that great results often spring from small ...
