A cost-effective approach to producing MXene material could open up new possibilities for electronics and energy storage technology. The key to a perfect croissant lies…
Studying the relationship between the arrangement of water molecules incorporated into layered materials like clays and the arrangement of ions within these materials has been…
New studies broaden the perspectives on what constitutes a “computer” and how small a computational unit can be. When we define a “computer” as any…
At high temperatures, the structure of two-dimensional titanium oxide breaks down and forms rings of four, seven, and ten atoms when barium is added, instead…
The shape of heavy nuclei changes as the energy level varies. The universe is governed by four fundamental forces that dictate the interactions between particles…
Atoms may be made to attract one another using light. Theoretically, this effect has been predicted for a very long time. However, the Vienna Center…
Physicists peer into mirror nuclei. The atomic nucleus is a busy place. Its protons and neutrons periodically collide and fly apart with high momentum before…
Researchers playing with a cloud of ultracold atoms uncovered behavior that bears a striking resemblance to the universe in microcosm. Their work, which forges new…
Using a new process of laser cooling, MIT physicists have invented a new technique to cool atoms into condensates faster than the conventional method while…
Using attosecond-timed laser flashes, a team of physicists has become the first to image and control the motion of the two electrons in a helium…
Using a technique called partial covariance mapping, scientists gain new insight into the dynamics of “hollow atom” formation. In a detailed study of how intense…
A new paper from David Mazziotti, a professor in chemistry at the University of Chicago, solves what specialists call the “N-representability problem,” how to compute…
While conducting experiments with the LCLS’s Atomic Molecular Optical instrument, a team of SLAC physicists found that the damage process in nanometer-sized clusters of atoms…
