Researchers led by Prof. ZHOU Wu from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and Prof. Sokrates T. Pantelides of Vanderbilt University have pushed the sensitivity of single-atom ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Developing durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic media is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). This study reveals that the stability of ...

Regarding glass-forming ability (GFA), Pd 42.5 Ni 7.5 Cu 30 P 20 (PNCP) is regarded as the best bulk metallic glass, although the atomic arrangements that result in its attributes are still unknown.

Metal nanoclusters are small, crystalline structures that range up to two nm (2 x 10-9 m) in diameter and consist of a few to hundreds of metal atoms. Two thiol ligands, SPhpOMe and SPhoMe, produce ...
