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

Beauty R&D is shifting toward “materials intelligence,” using AI and atom-level simulation to model ingredient interactions, ...

Optical atomic clocks are 100 times more precise than cesium clocks. Scientists are using them to search for dark matter and measure gravity.

Atomic scale copper rich layers inside rare earth magnets suppress demagnetization, improving strength, stability, and ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Cancer Research Institute at Kanazawa University led have uncovered how targeted lung cancer drugs alter the shape and behavior of a ...

An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, ...

Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

The science of catalysis and surface science have developed, independently, key information for understanding catalytic processes. One might argue: is there anything fundamental to be discovered ...
