The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

An instrument that uses high-energy electrons to take "snapshots" of ultrafast chemical processes at the atomic and molecular ...

A new plasmonic fiber probe uses linearly polarized light and energy recycling for broadband nanofocusing with resolution ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

Atomic-scale EMCD imaging reveals antiferromagnetic order in single atomic columns, detects ultrathin interfacial 'dead' ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Crystallography lets scientists see materials as systems of ordered atoms, turning materials research into a predictive science. In revealing how atomic arrangements govern strength, conductivity, and ...

In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical ...
