Scientists revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons in a decay process initiated by X-ray irradiation. For the first time, they gain detailed insights into the ...

Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter At the nanoscale all atoms vibrate. These vibrations define heat dissipation, chemical reactions, and material properties. The different ...

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that ...

Analysis revealed that in acetone, adsorbed gold atoms were mostly isolated particles. The researchers suggest that this is ...

While most people, when asked about energy innovation, think about some of the "large" technologies, such as wind turbines, long transmission lines, or massive power plants, some of the most important ...
