- Electron bubbles modelled from X-ray laser data
What happens when radiation hits water? This is a question that has an impact every time you get an X-ray at the doctor's office, given you are mostly made of water. A team of theoretical physicist...
- Shaping a sustainable future for a common plastic
A broad-based scientific team from government, academia and industry joins forces to identify new opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of polyurethane - one of the most widely used but ... - Powerful X-rays watch solid state batteries charging and discharging
Using high-speed X-ray tomography, researchers captured images of solid-state batteries in operation and gained new insights that may improve their efficiency. Despite worldwide use of lithium batt...
- "Black nitrogen": a puzzle of the periodic table has been solved
In the periodic table of elements there is one golden rule for carbon, oxygen, and other light elements. Under high pressures they have similar structures to heavier elements in the same group of e... - Ultrafast chemistry in water caused by ionising radiation observed for the first time
An international research team jointly led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Germany's Deutsches...
- Serial crystallography using broad-spectrum X-rays
A newly developed experimental set-up allows the X-ray structure determination of biomolecules such as proteins with far smaller samples and shorter exposure times than before. At so-called synchro... - A precise new way to study materials using X-ray free-electron laser
Scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have made the first direct measurements, and by far the most precise ones, of how electrons mov...
- X-ray experiment opens new route to study biochemical reactions
With a powerful X-ray camera, scientists have watched a genetic switch at work for the first time. The study led by Yun-Xing Wang from the National Cancer Institute of the U.S. reveals the ultrafas...
- Aqueous light driven hydrogen production
Refined by nature over a billion years, photosynthesis has given life to the planet, providing an environment suitable for the smallest, most primitive organism all the way to our own species. Whil...
- Usable method for detecting extremely rare inert gas isotopes for water dating developed
In the earth and environmental sciences, radioactive isotopes, atom variants that decay over time, play a major role in age determination. A radioactive isotope of the inert gas argon (39Ar), for e... - Neutrons and X-rays reveal structure of high-temperature liquid metal oxides
By levitating a bead of ceramic oxide, heating it with a 400-watt carbon dioxide laser, then shooting the molten material with X-rays and neutrons, scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy's O... - New insight into mysterious electronic phenomenon
For more than a quarter of a century, high-temperature superconductors - materials that can transmit electric current without any resistance - have perplexed scientists who seek to understand the p... - Bimetallic nanoparticles hold promise as catalysts
Since the dawn of the Bronze Age, people have appreciated the advantages of using alloys rather than single metals to make better materials. Recently, scientists have discovered a recipe for making...
- Argonne scientists reveal secret of nanoparticle crystallization in real time
A collaboration between the Advanced Photon Source and Center for Nanoscale Materials at U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has "seen" the crystallization of nanoparticl... - New material traps radioactive ions using "Venus flytrap" method
Like a Venus flytrap, a newly discovered chemical material is a picky eater - it won't snap its jaws shut for just anything. Instead of flies, however, its favorite food is radioactive nuclear was...
- Detection of Chemical and Biological Weapons at long Distances
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and in sensors to detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scient...
