There is no doubt that water is significant. Without it, life would never have begun, let alone continue today – not to mention its role in the environment itself, with oceans covering over 70% of ...

Novel approaches in solar energy conversion and storage require theories capable of describing electronic systems, sometimes strongly interacting, in a dissipative condensed phase environment. In ...

For the first time, a team at BESSY II has succeeded in demonstrating the one-dimensional electronic properties of a material ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

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 ...

Catalysts play an indispensable role in modern manufacturing. More than 80% of all manufactured products, from pharmaceuticals to plastics, rely on catalytic processes at some stage of production.

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny electrical currents in kagome metals—quantum materials with a woven atomic ...

Accuracy and speedup achieved with the Weighted Active Space Protocol (WASP) for methane activation on titanium carbide. (Figure courtesy of Seal et al.) Catalysts play an indispensable role in modern ...
