Called STRONG—STring Representation Of Nanopore Geometry—the language assigns different letters to different atom configurations and creates a sequence of all the atoms on the edge of a ...

We can then follow how electrons ‘jump’ between the atoms in the artificial atom structures. “We create and erase the dangling bonds (which are silicon atoms missing a hydrogen atom to bond to, unlike ...

Finally, the quaternary structure of a protein refers to those macromolecules with multiple polypeptide chains or subunits. The final shape adopted by a newly synthesized protein is typically the ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Most of the mass and all of the positive charge of an atom is in the nucleus. Most of an atom is empty space, (a ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments ...

Atoms are the fundamental components of matter, made up of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The structure of atoms determines the properties and behavior of different ...

Interactions between the atom structures of the different metals and the liquid gallium cause differently shaped crystals to emerge, the scientists showed. Depending on the used metal, ...

Researchers at IISc have devised a new language which encodes the shape and structure of nanopores in the form of a sequence of characters. This language can be used to train any machine ...
