We introduce and discuss a method for global optimization of atomic structures based on the introduction of additional degrees of freedom describing: 1) the chemical identities of the atoms, 2) the ...

For more than a decade, physicists have faced a puzzling situation: the size of the proton, the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, ...

How atoms organize during the earliest stages of nucleation has been a subject of speculation for over a century. Using atomically resolved electron microscopy, the formation and ordering of metal ...

A study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has yielded new answers to fundamental questions about the relationship between the size of an atom and its other properties, such as ...

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have made the world’s smallest radio receiver – built out of an assembly of atomic-scale defects in pink ...
