The simplicity of a hydrogen atom makes it an ideal model for studying atomic structure and interactions. Yet, despite the ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a promising class of nickel-based materials, offering new insight into how ...

NMAH copy purchased with funds from the S. Dillon Ripley Endowment. This comprehensive scientific history presents for the first time a detailed and comprehensive study of the Bohr atom in all its ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...
