It is not clear whether this test generated nuclear reactions ... massive shift to the industrial scale, something required in any serious attempt to build an atomic bomb, would not be done.

For the first time, researchers have directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. The real-time observations ...

A research team has successfully observed and identified the water-induced degradation mechanism of perovskite, which is a ...

But in 2013 cryo-EM achieved atomic resolution for the first time. “It wasn’t quite clear to me that we would get to atomic resolution; even 10 years ago I was sort of skeptical,” says ...

All of these systems are made up of dissimilar materials that, where they join at the atomic scale, display very different behaviour from what might be expected of the bulk materials. Advances in ...

Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision ... trigger localized chemical reactions on a diamond surface.
