For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

A novel apparatus at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise ...

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing low-energy electrons after X-ray excitation.

Deep beneath the Baltic Sea lies a structure that looks engineered—but no one knows by whom. Some say it’s Atlantis. Others say it’s alien. We explore the facts, the dives, and the speculation.

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...

Beauty R&D is shifting toward “materials intelligence,” using AI and atom-level simulation to model ingredient interactions, cut trial-and-error, reduce waste, and speed the development of safer, ...

Matlantis CSP has already produced early results across multiple systems—oxides, alloys, and phosphides—discovering more than 10 previously unknown stable crystals. In the Ga–Au–Ca system, it ...

RICHLAND, Wash.-In a historic event decades in the making, the Hanford Site recently began immobilizing low-activity, ...

DeepMind COO Lila Ibrahim discusses building powerful AI with care, ethics and a long-term focus on human impact.

The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. In A Nutshell The world’s most precise clocks are changing how we understand ...

Current electrochemical theory does not adequately describe realistic platinum electrodes. Scientists at Leiden University have now, for the first time, mapped the influence of imperfect platinum ...
