The positions of all the atoms in a sample of a metallic glass have been measured experimentally — fulfilling a decades-old dream for glass scientists, and raising the prospect of fresh insight into ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that ...

The DIGIT imaging tool could enable the design of quantum devices and shed light on atomic-scale processes in cells and tissues. (Nanowerk News) If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then ...

Part of Physics (Single Science) Unit 1: Atomic and nuclear physics Most of the mass and all of the positive charge of an atom is in the nucleus. Most of an atom is empty space, (a vacuum). In 1897, ...

Researchers have imaged an aquareovirus structure at 3.3 Angstroms, the first published instance of a virus imaged at such a high resolution. This research demonstrates the first time that high enough ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel method for investigating the internal structure of atoms and discovered ...

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) provides a main route to generate attosecond (10-18 s) pulses, which have been considered “the world’s fastest film camera” for imaging the movement of electrons.

The optical properties of a thin layer of the semiconductor germanium-tin (GeSn) sandwiched between barriers of ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light — which is a thousand times larger than the atom’s width — is comparable to an ocean wave. The light wave can dwarf ...
