A valence electron in titanium oxide has been imaged at a resolution of 0.2 Angstroms using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and a new Fourier synthesis method that can determine the orbital states in ...

Okay, I admit that the title sounds a bit like a contradiction in terms, but I am actually making sense—well, sort of. Most high-temperature superconductors are manufactured from layers of oxides, ...

When a crystal is hit by an intense ultrashort light pulse, its atomic structure is set in motion. Scientists can now observe how the configuration of electrons and atoms in titanium dioxide, a ...

Scientists explored the properties of metals under intense light -- a situation "where the classical physics of electron emission from metals emerges from its quantum roots," according to researchers.

Cutting large lumps of aerospace-grade metals can be hard work. So GE has developed a tool called Blue Arc which uses a high-speed beam of electrons to cut through titanium alloy 15 times faster than ...

(Nanowerk News) The functions and physical properties of solid materials, such as magnetic order and unconventional superconductivity, are greatly influenced by the orbital state of the outermost ...
