This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

Power of three: Schematic image showing ultracold triatomic molecules forming by associating diatomic molecules and atoms. (Courtesy: Bo Zhao/USTC) Researchers in China have found strong evidence of ...

Like soft serve ice cream, beams of atoms and molecules now come with a swirl. Vortex beams made of light or electrons have shown promise for making special types of microscope images and for ...

The film explains the fundamental concepts of matter, focusing on atoms and molecules. It highlights that everything in the world is made up of atoms, which combine to form molecules. There are over ...

Heating a substance makes its atoms and molecules move faster. This happens whether the substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas. It’s not easy to see it happen in a solid but let’s try it for a ...

Artificial intelligence has been used to make simulations that track billions of interacting molecules at unprecedented scale and speed, paving the way for a greater understanding of material science, ...

The astronauts have left and Space Station Seven is in chaos! Our hero Linus — a genetically modified rat — has knowledge of chemistry and a thirst for adventure! Can one rat make a difference? Can he ...

When you get right down to the atomic scale, things happen much faster than we’re used to. That makes it hard to actually see what happens during chemical reactions, so researchers at Harvard have ...
