Scientists at EPFL and AstraZeneca have developed a method to map the atomic-level structure of amorphous drugs, demonstrated on a GLP-1 receptor agonist candidate for diabetes and obesity treatment.

An orbital structure is the space in an atom that’s occupied by an electron. But when describing these super-microscopic properties of matter, scientists have had to rely on wave functions — a ...

Here we modulate the local atomic structure of a classical but inert transition metal oxide, tungsten trioxide, to be an efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution in acidic water, ...

Diamonds might be forever but that doesn't stop them being bought and sold. One stone thought to have once belonged to Marie ...

What lies within the H atom? Experimental observation of the transverse nodal structure of four atomic hydrogen Stark states. The images in the middle show experimental measurements. Interference ...

The electronic structure for lithium is written as a list of numbers separated by commas is 2,1. This shows that lithium atoms have three electrons, two in the first shell and one in the second shell.

A new map of the Milky Way’s atomic hydrogen, anchored by precise distances to young Cepheid stars, reveals the galaxy’s gas disk is highly clumped and flocculent rather than smooth.

Unfortunately, researchers often only have access to samples of very small crystallites, or atomic clusters, in the form of powder or suspended in solution. In these cases, the X-ray patterns contain ...

Achieved the first spectroscopic observation of hydrogen (H 2) and deuterium (D 2) molecules physically adsorbed within an atomic-scale space known as a picocavity.
