Why do certain surfaces behave very differently from what theoretical calculations suggest? Scientists long assumed that the ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

For almost 100 years, scientists believed there were only two main types of magnets. One is the familiar ferromagnet, the ...

Scientists long assumed that the aluminum oxide surface should be highly reactive and capable of splitting water molecules.

Gold has been a treasured material for various cultures for thousands of years. This enduring appeal comes from a combination ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...
