An international group of researchers has developed a novel approach that enhances the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a key process in renewable energy technologies. By introducing ...
A speck of metal containing thousands of atoms has no business behaving like a ghost. Yet in a vacuum chamber at the ...
The schematic diagram reveals that the stabilizing effect of iridium single atoms during the acidic oxygen evolution reaction is determined by their anchoring sites. Single atoms anchored at lattice ...
Physicists captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal correlations among the 'free-range' particles that until now were predicted but never directly ...
Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...
All the elements in the Periodic Table are made from different atoms, and the structure of these atoms results in a gamut of phenomena from radioactive decay to nuclear power. When you purchase ...
UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities for sensing, precision ...
Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...
Scientists have squished two layers of ultracold magnetic atoms to within 50 nanometers of each other — 10 times closer than in previous experiments — revealing bizarre quantum effects not seen before ...
