Alternating triangular charge density wave domains observed within a layered superconducting compound

A research team consisting of NIMS and the Tokyo University of Science observed charge density waves (CDWs) within Niobium diselenide...

Attosecond core-level spectroscopy reveals real-time molecular dynamics

Chemical reactions are complex mechanisms. Many different dynamical processes are involved, affecting both the electrons and the nucleus...

Atomic nucleus excited with laser: a breakthrough after decades

The "thorium transition", which has been sought after for decades, has now been excited for the first time with lasers.

Nothing is everything: How hidden emptiness can define the usefulness of filtration materials

Voids, or empty spaces, exist within matter at all scales, from the astronomical to the microscopic. In a new study, researchers used...

Characterizing the excited states of individual atoms through the combination of tunneling microscopy and pulsed laser

The characterization of the dynamics of the excited states of a single atom localized on a surface remains to this day an experimental...

New AI model is a leap for autonomous materials science

Materials science enables cutting-edge technologies, from lightweight cars and powerful computers to high-capacity batteries and durable...

A simple, scalable method using light to 3D print helical nanostructures

A new fabrication process for helical metal nanoparticles provides a simpler, cheaper way to rapidly produce a material essential for...

A 2D ‘antenna’ boosts light emission from carbon nanotubes

A flat sheet of atoms can act as a kind of antenna that absorbs light and funnels its energy into carbon nanotubes, making them glow...

New method for analyzing nanoporous materials

In addition to their main components, the properties of crystalline and nanoporous materials often depend crucially on guest atoms or...
