A newly isolated three-atom aluminum ring reveals unexpected chemistry that could help replace costly metals used in ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

By placing single-atom-thick adlayers of p-block metals on commonly employed gold electrodes (d-block), a research team at ...

The ability to produce cold and ultracold molecules has opened new avenues to probe fundamental physics, develop novel technologies and understand quantum chemical phenomena. Through precise ...

Last week, IBM trumpeted its contributions to a rather unusual paper: the production of a molecule with a half-Möbius topology, assisted by an algorithm run in part on a quantum computer. There was, ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

AN international team of scientists has created a molecule unlike any previously known, demonstrating how quantum computing ...
