Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to ...

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

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

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new technique that doubles the amount of hydrogen produced when splitting water molecules with ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never stops — even at absolute zero.

A never-before-seen image of individual oxygen atoms dissolved in water has been captured.

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

For nearly two centuries, textbooks blamed icy spills on pressure and friction, but new simulations tell another story. The ...

Stargazers on the northern edges of Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, ...

Physicists have finally filmed a crystal as it melts and discovered that, under the right conditions, it refuses to behave ...
