Imagine having a super-powered lens that uncovers hidden secrets of ultra-thin materials used in our gadgets. Research led by University of Florida engineering professor Megan Butala enables a novel ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

The theory was developed by Neils Bohr's great-grandson. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The use of a special type of atom could ...

Material engineers and scientists have long wanted to understand the atomic structures of amorphous solids such as glass, rubber and plastics more fully. Unlike the structures of crystalline materials ...

Amyloid-beta (Aβ) accumulation in the brain is proposed to be an early toxic event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Although there have been many studies done, there is great ...
