Potassium channels are critical structures in biology; they selectively allow potassium ions to pass through the membrane surrounding cells. The precise gating of that channel is essential to its ...

Ion channels, which allow potassium and sodium ions to flow in and out of cells, are crucial in neuronal 'firing' in the central nervous system and for brain and heart function. These channels use a ...

THE hyperfine structure of the resonance lines (7699 and 7665 A.) of potassium has been investigated by means of absorption in a potassium atomic ray. The lines were obtained in emission from a ...

A research team at Penn State has uncovered a potential method for precisely manipulating a material's properties by altering its atomic arrangement. Their discovery suggests that "atomic spray ...

A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory has achieved precise control and real-time observation of ...

"Atomic spray painting” of potassium niobate, a material commonly used in advanced electronics onto a substrate, could enable the tuning of properties of the resulting thin film, according to a new ...

(Nanowerk News) What’s the best way to precisely manipulate a material’s properties to the desired state? It may be straining the material’s atomic arrangement, according to a team led by researchers ...
