Researchers at Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University report a theoretical prediction of a new quantum phase of ...

In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, University of Wisconsin–Madison chemical engineers have developed model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the tiny world. Microscopes use light to magnify cells, microbes, and nanomaterials—but light also behaves like a wave, and waves ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

Atomic-level toughness mechanisms are essential for defense materials, impacting fracture resistance and performance under ...

Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter At the nanoscale all atoms vibrate. These vibrations define heat dissipation, chemical reactions, and material properties. The different ...
