For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

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

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

MIT scientists have coaxed atoms into an exotic “edge state” for the first time, allowing them to flow completely friction-free. The breakthrough could lead to better superconductor materials. As ...

Physicists have trapped electrons in a pure crystal, marking the first achievement of an electronic flat band in a three-dimensional material. The results provide a new way for scientists to explore ...

Scientists have found a way to control electrons in molecules using tailor-made terahertz light pulses, offering new possibilities for advanced technologies. Scientists at YOKOHAMA National University ...

MIT researchers developed a superconducting quantum processor comprised of 16 qubits which they can use to generate a synthetic electromagnetic field, enabling them to explore the properties of ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even as they are excited to ...
