Using advanced electron microscopy, researchers have watched individual atoms transition from chaotic liquid motion to ordered solid structure, revealing that the boundary between liquid and solid ...
Spin is the intrinsic magnetic moment of a particle – an electron, for example. It is a fundamental magnitude, like mass and charge. Simply put, it is as if the particle had a magnet inside it that ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A solid is made of atoms that are, more or less, locked in an ...
The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, established rules waver. In this two-dimensional mode, new states emerge ...
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 ...
