Using a novel surface-sensitive spectroscopy method, scientists explored atomic vibrations in crystalline material surfaces near interfaces. The findings illuminate quantum behaviors that play ...

Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...

When the team analyzed the transthyretin on the grid, they found that the protein forms asymmetric structures with two differently shaped binding pockets. Based on the more than 200 crystal ...

Based on the more than 200 crystal structures that had been solved in the past, these binding sites had been assumed to be identical. The researchers showed that this variation was because the ...

Nearly £30m is to be invested in the reopening of Cornwall's South Crofty tin mine in a scheme expected to create more than 300 jobs. The National Wealth Fund (NWF) announced a £28.6m direct ...

Ching-Kai Chi of iTHEMS and co-author of the work, noted that, "unlike previous Weyl materials, the uniquely simple electronic structure of (Cr,Bi) 2 Te 3 enabled us to quantitatively explain our ...
