Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

Scientists discovered fossilized reptile skin in a cave, revealing the oldest known example, dating back nearly 300 million ...

Long before nanotechnology existed, Richard Feynman explained how atoms could store huge amounts of information in microscopic spaces.

Located in Dongguan, Guangdong province, CSNS is China's first and the world's fourth pulsed spallation neutron source, ...

What if diagnosing pneumonia were as simple? A breath test uses nanoparticles and a chip-scale sensor to detect disease biomarkers.

Postdoctoral researcher Mofizur Rahman from the University of Kansas discusses his work, which focuses on engineering ...

Closing arguments began Thursday in a landmark trial that put online behavior under a microscope. In many ways, it has ...

Hair may grow in a completely different way than scientists once believed. Instead of being pushed out from the root, new ...

Multiferroic metals are materials that exhibit both electric polarization and magnetic order in the same crystal—a state ...
