Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

Physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made a groundbreaking discovery, developing a tabletop molecular technique that allows them to peer inside atomic nuclei. This ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Chemistry used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods to capture the moment when krypton (Kr) atoms joined ...

Atoms inside of an optical cavity exchange their momentum states by "playing catch" with photons. As the atoms absorb photons from an applied laser, the whole cloud of atoms recoil rather than the ...

Zhixin Wang does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Researchers from the School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham captured the moment when Kr atoms united, one by one, inside a “nano test tube” container that had a diameter half a million ...
