Innovative new electron spectroscopy technique pushes the limits of nanospectroscopy for materials design

Technique uses photons, fundamental components of light, to measure nanoscopic materials thinner than 100,000th the width of a human hair—with 30,000 fired per second and 500bn throughout

Novel technology allows researchers to see dynamic reactions as they happen at the nanoscale

New discovery could have important implications for food safety

While semiconductors may not contain rare materials, many are toxic or very expensive

Experiments with 'molecular anvils' mark an important advance for mechanochemistry, which has the potential to make chemistry greener and more precise

A research group has uncovered the principles of spicule morphogenesis in certain kinds of marine sponges
