The technology, called Single-Molecule Atomic-Resolution Time-resolved Electron Microscopy (SMART-EM for short), lets scientists observe individual atoms and molecules as they interact during chemical ...

Cosmology these days is dominated by the search for things we are confident exist, but can’t find or explain: dark energy, dark matter, and “missing matter”. Now a large collaboration claims to have ...

This study presents an innovative approach to single-atom catalysts, overcoming oxidative addition challenges in cross-coupling reactions for pharmaceuticals.

For decades, scientists have known that ordinary matter — everything made of atoms — accounts for just 15% of the universe’s matter. The rest is mysterious dark matter. But even that modest slice didn ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an "anchoring-borrowing" strategy, combined with facet ...

MXenes are materials with almost miraculous properties: they can be used for electromagnetic shielding, for energy storage or for novel sensors. It was recently found that they are also amazingly ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

Scientists from Rice University announced the first direct observation of a phenomenon called a superradiant phase transition (SRPT).

A new proposal makes the case that paraparticles — a new category of quantum particle — could be created in exotic materials.

Scientists have captured the first-ever video of atoms in motion during a chemical reaction, revealing hidden pathways and short-lived molecules previously impossible to observe. Using a new type of ...

But one aspect – the texture of the metals used – has been historically overlooked.
