After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

In 1873, Ernst Abbe proposed the famous diffraction limit theory, stating that the resolution of an optical system is limited by the light wavelength ...

The imaging resolution has long been constrained by the Abbe-Rayleigh diffraction limit. While the 2014 Nobel Prize recognized fluorescence microscopy, achieving single-shot, label-free far-field ...

Neutron diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering techniques can assess residual stress in and the microstructure of hydrocarbon pipelines. Forecasting tools based on predictive failure models ...

After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

MIT.nano has added a new X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument to its characterization toolset, enhancing facility users' ability to analyze materials at ...

HydroInsight enhances the Mastersizer 3000, delivering real-time particle counting and concentration data for improved particle characterization workflows.

A long-standing chemistry challenge has been solved with the synthesis of a five-atom silicon aromatic ring. The breakthrough validates decades of theory and points toward new industrially relevant ...

The 19th century poet Gerard Manley Hopkins paid homage to the kingfisher’s brilliant plumage in his poem “As Kingfishers Catch Fire,” but Chinese poets and artists were extolling their praises long ...

Update: A minibus spending package passed by the House of Representatives on January 8, 2026, effectively cancels the Mars Sample Return program by eliminating almost all funding for future missions.
