Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...
