Just like a book can't be judged by its cover, a material can't always be judged by its surface. But, for an elusive conjectured class of materials, physicists have now shown that the surface previously thought to be "featureless" holds an unmistakable signature that could lead to the first definitive observation.

Researchers have discovered a phenomenon known as premelting at temperatures significantly lower than previously believed, thanks to imaging equipment at the DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory.

An imaging method for sensitive materials conducted at Argonne National Laboratory reveals previously unseen changes in ice even when the temperatures are well

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have created a “bimetallic” optical switch with the potential to bring dramatic efficiencies to how data is [...]

Electron microscopy is being revolutionized by modern detectors. These detectors provide researchers unprecedented insights into proteins and the atomic structures of sophisticated materials, opening up hitherto uncharted territory in high-resolution imaging. At extremely short time intervals, these detectors gather data.

Researchers are making catalysts more efficient by designing nanoscale materials.
