Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) are amazing tools which can manipulate singular atoms, but they cannot characterize these atoms as they act only on the outer electron shell. Meanwhile X-ray ...

This image shows (a) the Nature magazine cover; (b) the single atom X-ray mechanism; (c) a supramolecular ring with one iron atom; (d) X-ray spectra of one iron atom; (e) a terbium dimer complex; (f) ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Can you briefly explain what transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is and why it is important? Transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is a pump-and-probe technique used to study the absorption of ...
