In the most powerful X-ray facilities in the world, scientists can analyze samples so small they contain only 10,000 atoms. Smaller sizes have proved exceedingly difficult to achieve, but a multi-institutional team has scaled down to a single atom.

A multi-institutional team discovered surprising properties in a magnetic material. This discovery could be applicable to information storage, such as computer memory and high-efficiency microelectronics.

Controlling the rotation of this molecule could lead to new technologies for microelectronics, quantum computing and more.

Scientists find way to make new materials for batteries, magnets and microelectronics.
