It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are ...

Record-breaking manipulation: MIT and ORNL scientists moved 40,000 atoms in 40 minutes, surpassing decades-old atomic engineering limits. How it works: Algorithms guide an electron beam to reposition ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

Chemists at the University of Iowa have created a three-dimensional lattice that captures water from the air and stores it.

In 2010, Iris van Herpen, then only three years after establishing her eponymous couture brand, sent the first 3D-printed garment down the runway as part of her “Crystallization” collection. A top ...

Scientists have succeeded in observing the hidden structure of PMN-PT crystals used in ultrasound, revolutionizing modern ...

Chemists at the University of Iowa have created a light-activated structure that captures and stores water from the air. The ...

Despite being one of our key senses, the molecular mechanisms of smell remain poorly understood. Mason Wakely sniffs out the ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have shown for the first time that ferroelectricity ...

Despite being the most abundant particles in the universe, neutrinos are notoriously difficult to detect. Could launching a ...
