Canada Day is coming up and numerous fireworks shows will no doubt be occurring across the country. Here’s the amazing ...

Researchers used powerful XFELs to trigger strong inner-shell lasing, producing attosecond hard X-ray pulses. Filamentation ...

A research team including members from the University of Michigan have unveiled a new observational technique that's ...

Imidazoles and triazoles are essential chemical compounds used in many medicines, including drugs used to defeat various pathogen-induced infections and cancer. Besides these applications, both ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has been getting bigger since the Big Bang. When the hydrogen and helium atoms ...

An atom with 6 protons is carbon, ... Just as there are electron “shells” that make atoms less chemically reactive when all shells are full, atomic nuclei have their own shells.

We report a strong enhancement of the light absorption in single coaxial nanowires (NWs) of Si core/dielectric shells. We have calculated the light absorption coefficient within the framework of the ...

The growth of silver shells on gold nanorods is investigated by in situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy using an advanced liquid cell architecture. The design is based on microwells in ...

While often considered to be chemically inert, the reactivity of noble gas elements at elevated pressures is an important aspect of fundamental chemistry. The discovery of Xe oxidation transformed the ...
