Researchers led by Prof. ZHOU Wu from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and Prof. Sokrates T. Pantelides of Vanderbilt University have pushed the sensitivity of single-atom ...

Glass is a fundamental material. Yet its atomic structure still baffles scientists to this day. Researchers have developed a new way to quantify ring shapes in chemically bonded networks of glass, ...

Metal nanoclusters are small, crystalline structures that range up to two nm (2 x 10-9 m) in diameter and consist of a few to hundreds of metal atoms. Two thiol ligands, SPhpOMe and SPhoMe, produce ...

Regarding glass-forming ability (GFA), Pd 42.5 Ni 7.5 Cu 30 P 20 (PNCP) is regarded as the best bulk metallic glass, although the atomic arrangements that result in its attributes are still unknown.
