For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

These gases — composed of carbon, hydrogen, and a halogen, like chlorine — are mostly made by bacteria, algae, fungi, and ...

Addressing this, our study presents a fiber-based SEIRA technique that utilizes replaceable silver halide polycrystalline infrared (PIR) fiber loops. These fiber loops were modified with ...

A crystal used in the study charges under UV light. The process created by Zhong Lab could be used with a variety of materials, taking advantage of rare earths’ powerful, flexible optical ...

Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers are breaking new ground with halide perovskites ... thanks to its ultra-thin crystal structure, which makes it highly efficient at converting sunlight into energy.

Project leader Professor Yoichi Murakami commented, "Although that structure was anticipated when I first looked at the layered morphology, I was excited when the results of the single-crystal X ...

The electrons are trapped by some of the oxide crystal's defects, for instance the individual gaps in the structure where a single oxygen atom should be, but isn't. "It's impossible to find ...

Don't worry, you can still access the iPhone 13 Pro's fancy new macro lens. The Halide 2.5 app update brings macro photography — aka, extreme closeup shots — to the iPhone 8 and higher.

FH, CT, and KT planned all experiments. KF synthesized the samples. FH, KF, KY, and TS analyzed the single-crystal structures. FH and HS performed the DFT calculation. FH and KT wrote the manuscript ...
