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

First, the researchers used a short laser pulse about 200 nanometers in wavelength to excite ammonia molecules. This pump ...

“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral ...

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

Electron impact ionisation processes are fundamental interactions in which an energetic electron collides with an atom or ion, resulting in the ejection of one or more electrons. These mechanisms are ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

In a breakthrough that brings nanoscience one step closer to precise control of chemical reactions, a team of researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...

Improving the efficiency of moving electrons through a material will help empower the next generation of technologies. Scientists at MIT improved electron mobility, which measures how quickly ...
