ATHENS, Ohio – From snowflakes to the leaves on a tree, objects in nature are made of irregular molecules called fractals. Scientists now have created and captured an image of the largest man-made ...

The Foresight Institute is recognizing Hla with the 2024 Feynman Prize for his research on molecular machines and motors, atomically precise rotation of rare-earth complexes and analysis of a single ...

Ohio University physicist Saw Wai Hla and his colleagues were able to scan a single iron atom hidden amid a complex molecule, something that’s never been done with an X-ray before. Extremely powerful ...

The world's shortest race by distance -- a fraction of the width of a human hair -- was a huge success for scientists working at the nanoscale. It spurred interest in molecular machines and led to a ...

For the first time, a team of scientists has imaged a single atom by using X-rays. And according to the resulting study published in the journal Nature, it offers transformative advantages over other ...

(Nanowerk News) Dr. Saw-Wai Hla and Dr. Eric Masson are thrilled with their team’s performance in the world’s first nanocar race in April, but for them, it was a fun starting point to a much larger ...

Nanotechnologists have transformed what used to be a technical flaw in one of their premier atom-moving tools into a benefit that’s making nanoscale construction easier. Instead of lamenting how ...

ATHENS, Ohio, March 29 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say they have created the world's smallest superconductor -- a sheet of four pairs of molecules less than one nanometer wide. The Ohio University-led ...

Single atom X-ray mechanism When X-rays illuminate an atom (red ball at the centre of the molecule), core level electrons are excited. X-ray-excited electrons then tunnel to the detector tip via ...

This article was written by Discover'sSmriti Rao. Scientists have created the world's smallest superconductor, made out of just four molecule-pairs and less than a nanometer wide. That's far smaller ...

Scientists have taken the world's first X-ray SIGNAL (or SIGNATURE) of just one atom. This groundbreaking achievement could revolutionize the way scientists detect the materials. A team of scientists ...
