Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations ...

For the first time, researchers have played matchmaker between two specific atoms, joining them together to form a molecule. Typically, chemists make molecules by mixing up many constituent atoms, ...

Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

“For two years, I was looking at flat lines,” physicist Sebastian Pedalino recalled of a stubborn detector that refused to show anything but noise. The evening when the signal at last expanded out ...

A team of physicists just managed to entangle a record-breaking 15 trillion atoms. The unusual feat is a first for quantum science, Live Science reports, especially because the scientists decided to ...

Berkeley physicists seeking to pierce a mystery as old as the universe joined an international team of scientists Wednesday to report they have trapped and stored a few dozen atoms of antimatter - the ...

There is a dictum to 'never change a running system'. New methods can however be far superior to older ones. While to date chemical reactions are mainly accelerated by catalytic materials that ...
