Korean researchers have developed the world's smallest semiconductor, marking a breakthrough in eco-friendly hydrogen production.

Helium is an immensely useful element in advanced applications like superconductors, rockets, and even lighter-than-air aircraft, but it’s not exactly easy to come by. Recent discoveries of ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have used a method called crystallography to determine the atomic structure of materials. The method works by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample and ...

For decades, noble gases like helium have been considered chemically inert, refusing to form stable bonds under normal conditions. But new research challenges this assumption, revealing that helium ...

Helium is inert - it does not react with other substances or combust - and its atomic number is 2, making it the second lightest element after hydrogen. Rockets need to achieve specific speeds and ...

They work by scattering a beam of low energy neutral particles, usually helium atoms, from a surface to image its structure and composition. Existing neutral atomic beam microscopes obtain the ...

An elusive structure ... the RIKEN Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Laboratory and his co-workers have isolated both water dimer ions by trapping them in tiny droplets of cold helium.
