On the left is an artistic depiction of a twisted double layer forming a moiré pattern created by overlapping 2D sheets; each layer’s structure is shown separately on the right. Researchers with the ...

Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

Researchers have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures within specially designed, ultrathin bilayer 2D materials. (Nanowerk News) Researchers with the Oak Ridge ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team discovered a method to transform materials with three-dimensional atomic structures into nearly two-dimensional structures – a promising advancement in controlling ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...
