Analysis revealed that in acetone, adsorbed gold atoms were mostly isolated particles. The researchers suggest that this is ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

In everyday life, all matter exists as either a gas, liquid, or solid. In quantum mechanics, however, it is possible for two distinct states to exist simultaneously. An ultracold quantum system, for ...

Solid-state batteries promise safer energy storage and faster charging than today’s lithium-ion cells, but a persistent ...

The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the manipulation of stationary atoms in a liquid metal can ...

A team led by scientists at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester has developed the first technique capable of capturing atomic‑resolution videos of individual gold ...

Through a combination of smarter material choices and machine learning techniques, a team led by Sarah Haigh at the University of Manchester showed how these graphene “nano-aquariums” can work with ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...
