A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory has achieved precise control and real-time observation of ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, a research team demonstrates the all-electrical control of quantum interference in individual atomic spins on a surface. Quantum interference arises when ...

Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that can be bent, cloaked, and sculpted at scales smaller than a single wavelength ...

Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

Researchers have observed hydrogen and deuterium molecules in tiny spaces called picocavities using advanced spectroscopy. This study reveals unique differences between the molecules due to quantum ...

Atomic scale copper rich layers inside rare earth magnets suppress demagnetization, improving strength, stability, and efficiency in motors and generators. (Nanowerk News) Rare-earth magnets are ...

“To improve transistor density and electronic performance, next-generation semiconductor devices are adopting three-dimensional architectures and feature sizes down to the few-nm regime, which require ...

A new technical paper titled “In Situ Atomic-Scale Investigation of Electromigration Behavior in Cu–Cu Joints at High Current Density” was published by researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung ...

The heart of a minuscule atomic clock—believed to be 100 times smaller than any other atomic clock—has been demonstrated by scientists at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and ...
