For more than 100 years, scientists have used a method called crystallography to determine the atomic structure of materials. The method works by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample and ...

Instead of weakening the structure, these broken bonds provide just the right charge balance to keep the material stable, acting like an atomic-scale glue. Like magnets, polarized materials have ...

“And now that we have this structure, perhaps we can find ways ... Using cryo-electron microscopy, they then captured atomic-level snapshots of the receptor bound to two synthetic sweeteners ...

Scientists at EPFL and AstraZeneca have developed a method to map the atomic-level structure of amorphous drugs, demonstrated on a GLP-1 receptor agonist candidate for diabetes and obesity treatment.

Courtesy of Barbara Kent The flakes were fallout from the Manhattan Project’s Trinity test, the world’s first atomic bomb detonation. It took place at 5:29 a.m. local time atop a hundred-foot ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Electrons orbit the nucleus. An atom has a neutral charge, because it contains the same number of positive protons ...

A new type of semiconductor that can store information using electric fields may lead to more energy-efficient computers, ultra-precise sensors, and technologies that convert signals between ...

Happy Friday! You may have noticed there was no Pentagon Rundown last week. That’s because I was at the Modern Day Marine exhibition in Washington, D.C., writing about various topics, including ...
