NUS scientists have demonstrated a general approach for characterizing the atomic structure and electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2-D) magnetic insulators using scanning ...

Figure 1 | The atomic structure of glasses. Knowledge of glass structure has been based on long-standing models developed from simple physical principles. a, ...

Unfortunately, researchers often only have access to samples of very small crystallites, or atomic clusters, in the form of powder or suspended in solution. In these cases, the X-ray patterns contain ...

Distortions glimpsed in atomic structure of materials Date: February 13, 2015 Source: North Carolina State University Summary: Researchers are using a technique they developed to observe minute ...

Engineering the surface structure at the atomic level can be used to precisely and effectively manipulate the reactivity and durability of catalysts. Here we report tuning of the atomic structure ...
