Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

Despite a few variations in powertrains, looks, and even ride height, the company is remarkably consistent in its ethos.

A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but it's costly and carbon-intensive. Now, a serendipitous collaboration between ...

The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from ...

Blink and you might miss it, but if you keep your eye on the monitors in professor Sebastian Will's lab, you'll catch a ...

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in ...

This was a surprise as the half-life for that particular xenon was a half-life of 18 billion trillion years. That’s more than ...

So, the hydrogen and helium atoms formed during recombination, when the cooler temperature allowed electrons to fall into orbits. But you, I and almost everything on Earth is made of many more ...

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

Putting unusually large atoms in a box with cold copper sides helped researchers control them for an unprecedented 50 minutes at room-temperature, an improvement necessary for building more powerful q ...
