Cornell-led researchers have developed a theoretical method for accurately predicting how helium atoms scatter from surfaces, a key advancement for non-destructive material analysis. This new approach allows for the first principle-based predictions of helium atom interactions with surfaces, offering an improvement over previous models. By employing helium beams, which interact with the material's electron density without causing damage, this method provides a deeper understanding of surface characteristics at the molecular level, paving the way for advanced studies in material science and phenomena like superconductivity.
