(Nanowerk News) An international team from Germany, Sweden, Russia and the USA, led by scientists from European XFEL, has published the results of an experiment that could provide a blueprint for the ...

(Nanowerk News) Phonons are quantum excitations which correspond to vibrations of the regular atomic array of a crystal. This crystal lattice consists of a large number of unit cells with an identical ...

Understanding the incredibly speedy atomic mechanisms at work when a protein transitions from one shape to another has been an elusive scientific goal for years, but an essential one for elucidating ...

Researchers in Switzerland have made a popular materials characterization technique accessible to ultrafast X-ray laser light for the first time. The new approach allowed the team to film atomic ...

Chemists have succeeded in using computer simulations to elucidate transient structures in proteins. Researchers have set out, in a new article, how computer simulations of details at the atomic level ...
