The CP2K open-source package is among the top three most widely used research software suites worldwide for simulating the ...

Using short laser pulses, researchers have imaged the exact moment an ammonia molecule bends and sheds a hydrogen atom.

Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

Most of an atom is empty space, so why does some matter feel solid? Two physics principles explain why. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...
