Scientists from Nottingham University and the University of Ulm in Germany have captured the first ever footage of atoms bonding and breaking using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The video shows the two atoms to the left of the footage, between 0.1 and 0.3 nanometres, appearing as black blobs as they bond and break. ‘It was ...

Goodfellow of Huntingdon, has a range of Perovskites – a group of materials with potential for optoelectronic applications. Perovskites have a unique and versatile crystal structure that consists of a variation in the chemical formula ABX3. Many Perovskites occur as oxides (ABO3), where A and B are typically metal cations. Due to their lattice, these ...
