Gaze into the temporal distance and you might spot the end of the age of silicon looming somewhere out there, as a research ...

A team of scientists at Penn State has created the world’s first computer made entirely from materials that are just one atom thick—without using any silicon. This breakthrough marks a big step ...

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam.

Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its ...

Chemical reactions are the backbone of modern society: the energy we use, the medicines we take, our housing materials, even ...

Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot ...

Scientists in Germany have achieved a world first by moving individual atoms from one position to a precisely defined final ...

In new research published in Nature, Weizmann Institute scientists introduce a powerful tool to explore quantum phenomena—the cryogenic Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM). Using this pioneering ...

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
