In inertial confinement fusion, a capsule of fuel begins at temperatures near zero and pressures close to vacuum. When lasers compress that fuel to trigger fusion, the material heats up to millions of ...
Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...
Entangled atoms, separated in space, are giving scientists a powerful new way to measure the world with stunning precision.
A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.
Scientists have created 3D printed surfaces featuring intricate textures that can be used to bounce unwanted gas particles away from quantum sensors, allowing useful particles like atoms to be ...
Humans have been eyeing the colorful Ring Nebula for nearly 250 years, but testing out a new telescope tool led to the ...
The Ring Nebula, also known as Messier 57, sits about 2,000 light-years from Earth. It is a planetary nebula—a misleading ...
Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together in molecules through shared electrons. The rules governing bonding and the shapes of molecules are often thought to be absolute. Geometries of double ...

Astronomers found an iron bar in the Ring Nebula that doesn't match any known stellar phenomenon. Scientists can't explain ...
Astronomers have discovered a strange, bar-shaped iron structure within the Ring Nebula, which could be the remains of a ...
After the Big Bang, the Universe entered a long, dark period before the first stars formed. During this era, hydrogen emitted a faint radio signal that still echoes today. New simulations show this ...
