In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

Electronics keep shrinking, but silicon is starting to run into physical limits. To go smaller, researchers are turning to ...

Researchers used atomic clock laser methods and a helper calcium atom to control a calcium monohydride molecule, expanding ...

Imagine a knot so small that it can’t be seen with the naked eye. Then think even smaller. Chemists have tied together just 54 atoms to form the smallest molecular knot yet. Described January 2 in ...

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, ...

Scientists were able to manipulate a calcium monohydride molecular ion — made up of one atom of hydrogen and one atom of ...

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...

In a basement room at Austria's University of Graz sits a jumble of steel tanks and ice-encrusted tubes. The contraption, a scanning tunneling microscope, can snap pictures of individual atoms and ...
