Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts ...

They allow researchers to test the predictive power of our most fundamental understanding of atomic structure. These efforts could lead to new insights into QED in for bound systems—that is, in ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...

Scientists have revealed how gold’s atomic structure shifts when the metal is crushed under pressures 10 million times greater than Earth’s atmosphere. The study, led by the Lawrence Livermore ...

Abstract: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows to obtain images and movies showing proteins at work, however with limited resolution. The developed BioAFMviewer software opens the opportunity to use ...

A new experiment involving a network of entangled atomic clocks could finally help us test how quantum mechanics fits with general relativity. Quantum mechanics is our best understanding of the ...
