Standard atomic weights, those numbers emblazoned under the elements on the periodic table, were once thought of as unchanging constants of nature. But researchers have tweaked the atomic weights of ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

Physicists are getting closer to controlling single-molecule chemical reactions – could this shape the future of pharmaceutical research?Controlling matter at the atomic level has taken a major step ...

What is Atomic Layer Etching? Atomic layer etching (ALE) is a highly controlled and selective etching technique that removes material layer by layer at the atomic scale. It is a cyclic process that ...

MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns arise from microscopic dislocations that guide atoms into preferred ...

(Nanowerk News) Atomic and close-to-atomic scale manufacturing (ACSM) represents the processing techniques for high-end products, which requires not only the atomic-level manufacturing precision and ...
