Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting superposition.

Scientists in Germany have shed light on how nanoscale imaging techniques like tip-enhanced Raman ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

Researchers have developed a means to realize cold-atom integrated nanophotonic circuits. Researchers at Purdue University have trapped alkali atoms (cesium) on an integrated photonic circuit, which ...

At the nanoscale all atoms vibrate. These vibrations define heat dissipation, chemical reactions, and material properties. The different ways in which ...

Reinhard Dörner explains: "In the quantum world, atomic nuclei are not tiny spheres that remain fixed in place. They are more like vibrating clouds. Even if we cool a molecule down to absolute zero, ...
