A research team has discovered clusters of aluminum atoms that have chemical properties similar to single atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements when they react with iodine. The discovery opens ...

The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

(CNN) -- As though it wasn't hard enough to memorize the names and atomic weights of 117 elements in the periodic table. Scientists have now confirmed another. Actually, researchers from Lund ...

Seventh-graders from Paul Knox Middle School in North Augusta journeyed to the center of the atom Wednesday as part of Nuclear Science Week. During the morning, students learned about protons and ...

Laser light can physically distort Janus TMD materials, revealing how their asymmetrical structure amplifies light-driven forces. These effects could power breakthroughs in photonic chips, sensors, ...

The chemical identity of individual atoms on a surface can now be determined using an incredibly powerful atomic force microscope. It means that scientists can now look at a mixed material and pick ...

As though it wasn’t hard enough to memorize the names and atomic weights of 117 elements in the periodic table, scientists have now confirmed a new one. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden ...
