Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still fully or partially filled with electrons. Studying the production mechanisms, ...

Scientists have discovered that ultra-thin materials—just a few atoms thick—can naturally create tiny “cavities” that trap ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

A new study, published in early November in Nature Physics, details a breakthrough in understanding the dynamics of halide perovskites, revealing insights crucial for advancing optoelectronics ...

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...
