The Chern number, an invariant quantity that characterizes topological phases in physical systems, was recently tuned in a controlled fashion by researchers from Tokyo Tech. They achieved this feat in an electronic-nuclear ...
In a pioneering application of operando spectroscopy, researchers at The University of Manchester at Harwell (UoMaH), in collaboration colleagues at Diamond Light Source, University College London, University of Sheffield, ...
A research team led by Prof. Xiao Yilin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) discovered the first diamond-magnesite-methane coexisting multiphase carbon-bearing ...
A new study by a research team from Diamond Light Source looks at how microplastics wastes may interact with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials in freshwater and seawater scenarios. It also evaluated, a ZnO-based sunscreen and ...
Researchers have announced an important step in the development of a next-gen technology for making X-ray free-electron laser pulses brighter and more stable. They used precisely aligned mirrors made of high-quality synthetic ...
A world-first instrument, High-energy electron Xtallography Instrument (HeXI), combining the power of electron diffraction with X-ray beamline expertise is being built by a team at Diamond Light Source, the UK's national ...
At particle accelerator facilities around the world, scientists rely on powerful X-rays to reveal the structure and behavior of atoms and molecules. Now, researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator ...
A chemical process used in the browning of food to give it its distinct smell and taste is probably happening deep in the oceans, where it helped create the conditions necessary for life.
"A diamond is forever." That iconic slogan, coined for a highly successful advertising campaign in the 1940s, sold the gemstones as a symbol of eternal commitment and unity.
Counterfeiting is a serious problem affecting a wide range of industries—from medicine to electronics, inflicting enormous economic losses, posing safety concerns and putting health at risk.
