Control of heat transport in nanostructures is of central importance for numerous modern technologies—from high-performance ...

Scientists show how a single atom can precisely control heat flow in molecules, opening new paths for efficient ...

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 ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

The ability to produce cold and ultracold molecules has opened new avenues to probe fundamental physics, develop novel technologies and understand quantum chemical phenomena. Through precise ...

Another atom-swapping reaction has entered the ring. Yoonsu Park and his team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have devised a light-driven reaction that replaces an ...

For the first time a molecule has been created that is twisted half-way to a Möbius strip shape, causing its electrons to ...

A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically ...

To read this, you probably had to log into a few different systems—your computer, your email, your phone. That action symbolizes the individual, “atomistic” approach to technology—one that is being ...
