Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in ...

Observing the 3D atomic arrangement of an amorphous solid has been Miao's dream since he was a graduate student. That dream has now been realized, after 22 years of relentless pursuit. "This study ...

Atomic clocks and solid walls: New tools in the search for dark matter As searches come up empty, some are thinking of new ways to look for dark matter.

For years, scientists have known that phonons (vibrations of atoms) carry heat through solids. However, when two different ...

A multi-institutional team has created atomic optical antennas in solids. The team used germanium vacancy centers in diamonds to create an optical energy enhancement of six orders of magnitude, a ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, the research group discovered for the first time that atomic hydrogen in solid-state materials exhibits broad-spectrum reactive oxygen and nitrogen ...

Cold atomic gases can easily produce qubit-encoded photons, for example, while doped solids can store quantum information over relatively long periods of time. However, different types of nodes will ...

Researchers have elucidated the mechanism of the initial degradation phenomenon that triggers the performance drop of high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis cell systems, using advanced ...
