Nucleons, comprising protons and neutrons, are not elementary particles but are built from quarks and gluons held together by the strong nuclear force. At typical inter-nucleon distances, effective ...

Alloys created by mixing three atomic species (medium-entropy alloys, or MEAs) or five species or more (high-entropy alloys, or HEAs) have emerged as hot properties in materials science. In metallurgy ...

Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, ...

For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, ...

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 ...

Spintronics devices will be key to realizing faster and more energy-efficient computers. To give us a better understanding of how to make them, a Kobe University team now showed how different ...
