Using atomic-scale defects in diamond, researchers in China have gained unprecedented insights into the complex chemical processes that unfold at the interfaces between solid surfaces and their ...

This build uses a practice called thin layer chromatography, which separates the components of a mixture by allowing them to travel at different rates across a thin adsorbent layer using a solvent.

Layer deposition techniques have emerged as indispensable methods for constructing ultrathin films with precise control over thickness, composition and microstructure. Methods such as atomic layer ...
