When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

Understanding the behavior of materials at their interfaces — where they connect to and interact with other materials — is central to engineering a variety of devices used to process, store and ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum process into a frame‑by‑frame movie. The work captures the split‑second ...

Yield loss is increasingly driven by molecular variability in thin films, interfaces, and contamination rather than visible defects. Reliability issues often appear first as parametric drift or margin ...

A group of scientists from Durham University and University of York have twisted molecules to their breaking point in order to challenge the understanding of chemical bonds. The researchers explored ...

Researchers around the world are working to develop efficient materials to convert CO 2 into usable chemical substances – work that is particularly pressing in view of global warming. A team from the ...
