How does the structure of ice change around impurities?
On the molecular scale, ice is less ordered than you might think, but it turns out that some of that missing order can be recovered
Black holes take 2020 Nobel prize in physics
Three laureates share this year’s Nobel prize in physics for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe: the black hole.
How sticky gold could “pull off” the next big thing in semiconductor technology
Pressing a layered crystal onto a gold surface is all it takes to pull off a 2D atomic layer, a method that outperforms scotch tape on industrially relevant scales.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
New ‘super light source’ should allow fascinating insights into atoms
International team of scientists proposes plans for high-intensity gamma radiation source at CERN.
Teleportation is possible, it just depends on scale
Using the principles of quantum mechanics, scientists unlock incredible computing powers, data storage, transmission, and encryption, one experiment at a time.
The world’s smallest motor
If your engine has more than 16 atoms, you’re just wasting space.
X-ray fingerprints of novel photocathode materials: A new route for theory and experiment to join hands
X‐ray absorption spectroscopy represents a valuable characterization tool for complex materials like multialkali antimonides.
