Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different ... aim to create more exotic nuclei to understand how their ...

Physical chemists are focused on understanding the physical properties of atoms and molecules, the way chemical reactions work, and what these properties reveal. Their discoveries are based on ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies ...

For the first time, atoms of the metal indium have been chilled to temperatures a few millionths of a degree above absolute ...

A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between two non-metal atoms, for example carbon dioxide. Figure caption, Two atoms sharing a pair of electrons. A covalent bond happens when the ...

By exchanging energy with graphene atoms undetectably, the atoms retained their quantum wave properties. Bill Allison from the University of Cambridge explains this phenomenon with a vivid analogy ...

These entities bridge the gap between individual atoms or molecules and bulk materials, exhibiting unique physical, chemical, and optical properties that are not found in their isolated or bulk ...
