Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...
Tuesday, May 25, 2021--Physicists will share work on atoms, simple molecules, electrons, and light--and how they all interact--during the 52nd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division ...
The first “atoms” in the universe were not atoms at all—they were just nuclei that had not found electrons yet. The simplest nucleus, that of common hydrogen, is a bare proton with no frills. When the ...
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics have spotted the largest complex molecule in deep space ...
Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.
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 ...
UCLA researchers have violated Bredt’s rule, a century-old principle of organic chemistry, challenging our understanding of molecular shapes.
Scientists report the first confirmed detection of thiepine, a complex sulfur-bearing molecule, in an interstellar cloud near the Milky Way’s center.
