The study serves as a benchmark for quantum chemical methods in modeling phosphate-containing clusters, opening new pathways for designing more efficient proton-conducting materials and understanding biological proton transfer.

Researchers at The University of Osaka use a nanoreactor to produce pores that mimic biological ion channels

Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have achieved the first atomic‑resolution imaging of monolayer transition metal diiodides, made possible by creating graphene‑sealed TEM samples that prevent these highly reactive materials from degrading on contact with air.

Clusters of 10 tantalum atoms, arranged in triangles, create stress in the crystal’s structure. This stress unlocks unique magnetic properties, essential for future technologies such as quantum computing.

Composed of tantalum, tungsten and selenium — el

Scanning electron microscope images of helical-shaped device samples made of Co₃Sn₂S₂ in various dimensions @Riken Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and colleagues have developed a new way to fabricate three-dimensional nanoscale devices from single-crystal materials using a focused ion beam instrument. The group used this new method to carve helical-shaped devices from a topological magnet composed of cobalt, tin, and sulfur, with a chemical formul

Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the team’s miniaturized, 3D-printed ion trap. Forty calcium ions are trapped in the space between the four poles that create an oscillating electrical potential. @Xiaoxing Xia/LLNL Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the University of California (UC) Berkeley, UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara have miniaturized quadrupole ion traps for the first time with 3D printing — a breakthrough in one of the most p
