Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but ...

Scientists predict up to 100 invisible galaxies may orbit the Milky Way, hiding just beyond our current detection limits.

Aggregates of a few metal atoms, known as clusters, are increasingly used in catalysis, bioscience, and nanotechnology. Since the discovery of a pyramidal structure of 20 gold atoms, "golden cages ...

Atoms may be 'locally' packed closer together, leading to denser areas, and can change quickly. One of the most complex of these situations is when liquids and gases meet.

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in ...

For the First Time, Scientists Caught Atoms Freely Interacting in Space—and It Was Stunning We had to freeze ’em to see ’em. By Elizabeth Rayne Published: May 09, 2025 9:30 AM EDT ...

Clusters of metal atoms surrounded by chemical groups (ligands) take geometries which are fundamentally different from the metals in bulk, ...
