However, at the atomic scale, gold behaves in ways that are far more valuable to science than to fashion. Researchers from the University of Tokyo have managed to capture the very first steps in the ...

The research addresses a longstanding challenge in materials science: understanding the complex, sequence-specific interactions between peptides and solid substrates, and the critical role of local ...

The size of an atom is only a few angstroms at most - there are 10 billion angstroms in 1 meter. This video also goes the basic parts of an atom (protons, neutrons, and electrons) and why the ...

Defects are often observed when making borophene, the single-atom form of boron, but unlike in other two-dimensional materials, these mismatched lattices can assemble into ordered structures that ...

As tiny as they are, there's a relatively large amount of empty space inside an atom. Now, scientists from Austria and the US have filled in some of those gaps, creating a new state of matter in the ...

Copper is one of the most widely used metals, but extracting and refining it into a useful form can be energy intensive and requires harsh chemical treatments. But now, researchers at the University ...
