Scientists at the European XFEL research facility have directly observed atomic-scale deformations inside solar ...

Scientists directly observed tiny lattice deformations in quantum dots caused by electron-hole pairs, key for advancing solar ...

The deformations are caused by so-called electron-hole pairs. These are released electrons and their ‘gaps’ left behind in the atomic lattice. The oppositely charged pairs play an important role in ...

To develop a sensor that can detect multidirectional deformations, Yang, Ren and their colleagues grew vertically aligned carbon nanotubes onto a thin silicon wafer.

One of the main characteristics of rifts is that they form deformations perpendicular to plate movement. In other words, as plates move away from one another, a rift forms perpendicular to that rift.

A version of this article appears in print on Aug. 1, 2010, Section WK, Page 9 of the New York edition with the headline: Four Deformations of the Apocalypse.

According to the team at the Alaska Volcano Observatory, “significantly elevated” emissions of volcanic gas have been detected at the volcano — the tallest in the Aleutian Arc — this month, along with ...
