For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

A novel apparatus at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise ...

“In the face of economic uncertainty, Ontario researchers are bolstering our critical industries with discoveries that cement our province as a global leader. This investment in our world-class ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Deep beneath the Baltic Sea lies a structure that looks engineered—but no one knows by whom. Some say it’s Atlantis. Others say it’s alien. We explore the facts, the dives, and the speculation.

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...

Technical University of Braunschweig, and the University of Delaware achieved new insight into the inner structure of the 173Yb+, and in particular its nucleus. This could advance research in areas ...

If you break open a chicken bone, you won’t find a solid mass of white material inside. Instead, you will see a complex, ...

CP2K is a widely used open-source package for atomic and molecular simulations, including AI training data. A new overview outlines its methods and scope.

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more ...

Matlantis CSP has already produced early results across multiple systems—oxides, alloys, and phosphides—discovering more than 10 previously unknown stable crystals. In the Ga–Au–Ca system, it ...
