If you think “instantaneous” happens in a second, you should meet Haiwang Yong. An assistant professor of chemistry at the University of California San Diego, Yong uses ultrafast spectroscopy to ...

A research team led by Sun Jian at Nanjing University has produced recoverable, millimeter-sized crystals of hexagonal diamond, a rare carbon polymorph that prior theoretical work has suggested could ...

Oxford Instruments announces the release of AZtecCrystal 4.0, the next generation of its Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analysis software.

Scientists from China have claimed they might have found a mineral that is harder than the cubic diamond, which is known to the world as the hardest e.

Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

A team of more than 30 physicists and materials scientists published a detailed strategy for reaching room-temperature superconductivity, identifying the most promising material families, the biggest ...

Abstract: We consider the diffraction radiation of plane time-harmonic electron beam from two graphene strips in the infrared range. Assuming that the electron beam does not change its trajectory and ...

When looking through a microscope, the level of detail that is visible isn't just about how much we magnify, but is actually determined by resolution. Resolution refers to the smallest distance ...
