For first time, researchers see individual atoms keep away from each other or bunch up as pairs

Observations of atomic interactions could help pave way to room-temperature superconductors.

New theory overcomes a longstanding polymer problem

Technique for calculating elasticity could aid design of new materials.

Study yields new knowledge about materials for ultrasound and other applications

Scientists ave used neutron scattering to discover the key to piezoelectric excellence in the newer materials, which are called relaxor-based ferroelectrics.

Silicon fluorescent material developed enabling observations under a bright 'biological optical window'

Toward the realization of deep-level bioimaging without using toxic elements or UV light.

Deep insight into interfaces

Interfaces between different materials and their properties are of key importance for modern technology. Physicists have developed a new method, which allows them to have an extremely precise glance at these interfaces and to model their properties.
