To apply the technique to crystallography, the scientists began with a dataset of 40,000 crystal structures and jumbled the atomic positions until they were indistinguishable from random placement.

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

In 1912, scientists invented X-ray crystallography and revealed a crystal’s atomic structure for the first time Tess Joosse Humans have marveled at crystals for millennia. Viridescent emerald ...

Although the overall atomic structure of a nanoscale crystal is in principle accessible by modern transmission electron microscopy, the precise determination of its surface structure is an ...

Directly below the outermost atomic layer, the crystal structure is rearranged and some iron atoms are absent. It is precisely above such places of missing iron atoms that other metal atoms attach.

The diffraction pattern obtained in X-ray crystallography is a representation of the crystal structure in reciprocal space. Each spot in the diffraction pattern corresponds to a specific set of atomic ...

Fragmentation of large, imperfect crystals into nanocrystals by sonication, vortexing, or vigorous pipetting facilitates atomic-resolution analysis by the cryo-EM method MicroED. Traditionally ...

Models of peptides and the crystal structure of calcium oxalate monohydrate on an atomic force microscope image collected during crystal growth. The bottom edge of this image is about 60 atoms across.

“Indium oxide contains oxygen-vacancy defects, which facilitate carrier scattering and thus lower device stability,” says ...
