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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A new approach to control forces and interactions between atoms and molecules, such as those employed by geckos to climb vertical surfaces, could bring advances in new materials ...

Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ...

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 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 ...

As electronics continue to shrink, they're constantly pushing up against the limits of our ability to craft increasingly tiny features. Processors rely on features etched with extremely high-energy ...

When zapped with the world’s strongest x-ray laser beam, big atoms within some molecules do something very strange: They behave a bit like minuscule “black holes,” sucking in electrons from the ...
