Researchers have captured how a molecule redistributes energy after absorbing light, differentiating the roles of individual ...

Scientists at the European XFEL have observed light-driven chemical reactions unfolding atom by atom using time-resolved ...

The researchers examined 3-fluoropyridine, a small molecule built around a ring of atoms. They selected it because its ...

Quantum technologies promise revolutionary advances in computing, sensing and information processing. However, controlling ...

Scientists have developed a new way to watch how individual atoms inside a molecule behave after the molecule absorbs light, ...

A new paper provides clear, reproducible proof-of-concept for subtractive mechanosynthesis on silicon. It is not yet a ...

For the first time, a stunningly powerful X-ray laser has revealed minuscule atomic motions in a molecule that should otherwise be perfectly still – were it not for the quirks of quantum mechanics.

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

Ion-atom collision dynamics explores the fundamental interactions that occur when charged particles impact neutral atoms, leading to processes such as elastic scattering, excitation, ionisation and ...

Last week, IBM trumpeted its contributions to a rather unusual paper: the production of a molecule with a half-Möbius topology, assisted by an algorithm run in part on a quantum computer. There was, ...
