A team of experimental and theoretical physicists has studied a single micrometer-sized atom. This atom contains tens of thousands of normal atoms in its electron orbital. A team of experimental and ...
Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to help probe ...
MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...
Entangled electrons Illustration depicting an atom (green nucleus with a white electron cloud) that is hit by a laser pulse (red). One electron is ripped out of the atom (black sphere on the right) ...
A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...
They are the invisible glue that hold molecules, the world around us and our own bodies together. Now researchers have managed to see the electron bonds which bind atoms to each other for the first ...
Cool nanotech Australian scientists have developed a new way of imaging atoms, which could lead to new types of drugs in medicine and a better understanding of materials for engineering. Called a cold ...
