Why do certain surfaces behave very differently from what theoretical calculations suggest? Scientists long assumed that the ...

How are heavy elements formed in the universe? Extremely neutron-rich atomic nuclei and their beta-decay rates play an important role in this process. Until now, it has been very difficult to ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

The discovery from the Trinity nuclear test site shows how extreme conditions can result in materials never before seen in nature or in the lab. The term “clathrates” denotes materials characterized ...
