It is hard to know what is going on over 3000 km beneath our feet, but until recently scientists were fairly confident that they understood the way the iron atoms in the Earth’s core packed together.

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x.

I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to the day where we won’t even have to go to the doctor’s office for an exam. Instead, we will all have scanners in our homes that will transmit full ...

Researchers at AIST have created a method to introduce alkali metals into the graphene interlayers, working with researchers from Osaka University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, Kyushu University, and ...

A new study based on electron microscopy techniques at low temperatures demonstrates that, during mitosis, chromosome DNA is packed in stacked layers of chromatin. The research, published in EMBO ...

In certain instances, direct access to a structure being studied may not be possible due to mechanical constraints, such as device packaging or limitations related to the samples themselves. To ...
