Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

Nov 30, 2018: Atomic nitrogen route to new 2D semiconductors (Nanowerk News) A simple and non-destructive fabrication technique could aid the manufacture of more energy efficient two-dimensional (2D) ...

Previously, it has been impossible to capture the high-resolution images of nitrogenase, the only enzyme capable of reducing nitrogen into ammonia, during catalytic action. Now researchers report ...

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are atomic-scale defects in the lattice structure of diamond. They consist of a substitutional nitrogen atom adjacent to a vacant lattice site. NV centers have emerged as ...

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.
