Electron microscopy researchers have developed a unique way to build 3-D structures with finely controlled shapes as small as one to two billionths of a meter. The study demonstrates how scanning ...

In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary particles ...

Achieving state-of-the-art accuracy in molecular property prediction using self-supervised AI, enabling cost-effective modeling based on electron-level information without quantum calculations ...

Traditional computational science and AI methods have been limited in utilizing electron-level information—essential for determining molecular properties—due to the excessive cost of quantum ...

American Scientist (ISSN 0003-0996) is an illustrated bimonthly magazine about science and technology. Each issue is filled with feature articles written by prominent scientists and engineers, ...

For years, scientists have known that phonons (vibrations of atoms) carry heat through solids. However, when two different materials come in contact, like in a computer chip, these vibrations often ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the ...
