A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...

A research team led by NIMS has, for the first time, produced nanoscale images of two key features in an ultra-thin material: ...

In recent years, the field of spintronics has garnered much press and attention thanks to its untapped potential in applications like telecommunications, data storage and information processing. 1 ...

Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few ...

Over the past few years, the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has developed a new tool to visualize physical and chemical processes with outstanding clarity: an ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

Left- or right-handedness is a symmetry property that many macroscopic objects also exhibit and which is of immense importance, particularly for the bioactivity of organic molecules. Chirality is also ...

The high sensitivity of the reflection electron microscopy (REM) technique to small changes in the crystal structure and composition of the top surface layers of various crystalline materials makes it ...

More than 60% of drugs are derived from natural products—chemicals made by living organisms like bacteria, fungi, and plants. But identifying and characterizing biologically active molecules in the ...

The dehydration of rat optic nerve has been studied by allowing specimens to become partially or fully dried before fixation and preparation for electron microscopy. A correlation is established ...
