During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens ...

Chinese scientists have for the first time directly observed the Migdal effect in neutron-nucleus collisions in an experiment ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology have managed to watch a single atomic nucleus flip its magnetic state in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they indirectly read the nucleus ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted byproducts in future chemistry. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Among them, the atomic ion 173Yb+ has attracted growing interest because of its particularly rich energy structure, which is promising for applications in quantum technologies and searches for ...

Results from KATRIN and MicroBooNE strongly disfavour a light sterile-neutrino explanation of longstanding anomalies.

Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...
