OxStu explores how the structure of glass makes it ubiquitous in everyday life and why we are still exploring its use.

Their similar charge and atomic structure mean that rare earth elements can often be used interchangeably within a crystal ...

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 ...

At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock ... as the "clock" and three ytterbium ions that cool it down. These ions interact to form a crystal-like structure held in place by ...

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 ...

The team fabricated a 25 cm-long single-ring hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (SR HC-PCF) with a twisted structure ... Optical atomic clocks offer exceptional timing accuracy and are essential ...

Atomic clocks record ... Tofful’s optical clock has a single ytterbium ion trapped at its core which is particularly sensitive to the variation of the fine structure constant, a measure of ...

A part of Rutherford’s scattering experiments, this particular experiment involved shooting alpha particles at a piece of gold foil with the source, foil, and detector placed in a vacuum vessel ...

New Delhi: Researchers from the Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur have successfully visualised the atomic structure of CXCR2 ...
