Researchers uncovered how soft regions in amorphous silicon mix order and disorder, offering new insights for designing ...

Part of Physics (Single Science) Unit 1: Atomic and nuclear physics Most of the mass and all of the positive charge of an atom is in the nucleus. Most of an atom is empty space, (a vacuum). In 1897, ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

Plutonium has captured the attention of scientists since its discovery in the early 1940s. This enigmatic element has an ...

Part of Physics (Single Science) Unit 1: Atomic and nuclear physics Protons and neutrons are the heaviest particles in an atom and as a result they make up most of its mass. The mass of electrons is ...

The study, led by Xiaochen Jin, used machine learning to determine that the atomic structure of Group 4 alloys, which ...

Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.

Imagine having a super-powered lens that uncovers hidden secrets of ultra-thin materials used in our gadgets. Research led by University of Florida engineering professor Megan Butala enables a novel ...
