Scientists have directly imaged atomic oxygen in water using a femtosecond laser, revealing unexpected stability and movement ...

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.

Several northern states—Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin—are all in the green section, meaning the aurora should be visible if the conditions are right.

Frantic Assembly has released photos of its latest piece, Lost Atoms. Celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary, it is currently playing at Curve, Leicester, ahead of a UK tour. Written by Anna ...

Researchers have directly observed zero-point motion in complex molecules, capturing the precise quantum patterns of atoms with the European XFEL X-ray laser. (Nanowerk News) Most of us find it ...

Stephen L. Levy receives funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. He is affiliated with CyteQuest, Inc. Richard Feynman, a famous theoretical physicist who ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...

The authors declare no competing interests. The research was supported by the Sydney Horizon Fellowship program, the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio program, the Australian Research Council, the US ...

Scientists recently snapped pictures of single, “free range” atoms as they move around freely through space – an achievement that has been impossible until now. This remarkable feat might rewrite our ...

Using single-atom-resolved microscopy, ultracold quantum gases composed of two types of atoms reveal distinctly different spatial correlations — the bosons on the left exhibit bunching, while the ...

Physicists captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal correlations among the 'free-range' particles that until now were predicted but never directly ...
