Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in solid supports as well as their spatial orientation. In the future, this ...

An atom has the same number of protons as electrons, so it is neutral − it has no overall charge. Now, most of the atoms in the universe are the two simplest kinds: hydrogen, which has one proton, ...

Scientists Capture the X-ray Fingerprint of a Single Atom for the First Time — And This Could Change Everything The achievement has potential implications from medicine to materials science.

Understanding the dynamics of biofilm formation and its elemental composition is crucial for developing effective strategies against biofilm-associated infections. In this study, we employed scanning ...
