An atomic-scale map of the interface between an atomic dot and its substrate. Each peak represents a single atom. The map, made with high-intensity X-rays, is a slice through a vertical cross-section ...

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, researchers at Drexel University and UCLA are providing the first atom-scale look at the surface of 2D MXene materials. The findings will help to tailor the unique ...

Machine learning software can now accurately track atoms from reactants to products without human help. On Thursday at ACS Spring 2021, a meeting of the American Chemical Society, Philippe Schwaller ...

A relatively new technique for studying atoms might shed more light on how life began on Earth. Scientists have used 3D atom mapping (specifically, atom probe tomography) to discover that the oldest ...
