For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic ...

The ability to describe the internal structure of atoms is important not only for understanding the composition of matter, but also for designing new experiments to explore fundamental physics.

Materials called relaxor ferroelectrics have been used for decades in technologies like ultrasounds, microphones, and sonar ...

Accelerator-based high-energy electron diffraction determines 3D atomic structure of materials New method using ultrashort ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel method for investigating the internal structure of atoms and discovered ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still fully or partially filled with electrons. Studying the production mechanisms, ...

MIT-led researchers have, for the first time, directly mapped the 3D atomic and polar structure of relaxor ferroelectrics, materials critical to sensors and energy devices. Using multi-slice electron ...

Using single-atom-resolved microscopy, ultracold quantum gases composed of two types of atoms reveal distinctly different spatial correlations — the bosons on the left exhibit bunching, while the ...

Deep inside planets like Uranus and Neptune, scientists may have uncovered a bizarre new state of matter where atoms behave ...
