Lab-based studies reveal how carbon atoms diffuse on the surface of interstellar ice grains to form complex organic compounds, crucial to reveal the chemical complexity in the universe. Lab-based ...

A series of "states" (dots) connected with "transitions" (lines) in a complex system. Bigger dots correspond to states where more time is spent during simulation, thicker lines for faster transitions.

(Nanowerk News) A group of researchers has created a simple and inexpensive means to visualize the atomic state of hydrogen. Details of their breakthrough were published in the journal Acta Materialia ...

British biochemist Professor Frederick Sanger was awarded his second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1980. He is only the third person to win Nobel Prizes for science in the history of he awards and ...

Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot to another. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of ...

Researchers have recast diffusion in multicomponent alloys as a sum of individual contributions, called 'kinosons.' Using machine learning to compute the statistical distribution of the individual ...
