UCLA study sets new benchmarks for 3D, atom-by-atom maps of disordered materials

UCLA study sets new benchmarks for 3D, atom-by-atom maps of disordered materials1+ hour, 53+ min ago   (408+ words) Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the three-dimensional positions and elemental identities of atoms in amorphous materials. These solids, such as glass, lack the repeating atomic patterns seen in a crystal. The…...

A year after undermining Bredt’s rule, UCLA scientists have made cage-shaped, double-bonded molecules that defy expectations

A year after undermining Bredt’s rule, UCLA scientists have made cage-shaped, double-bonded molecules that defy expectations1+ week, 12+ hour ago   (524+ words) Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in molecules, form and the shapes they give molecules are…...

Next generation of batteries may get lifespan boost with help from new UCLA imaging techniques

Next generation of batteries may get lifespan boost with help from new UCLA imaging techniques7+ mon, 2+ week ago   (950+ words) A new study led by researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA,or CNSI, however, might just help ratchet up the pace of progress. In the journal Science Advances, the team documented an imaging technique they invented that " for…...
