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 ...

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

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 ...

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

Understanding how atoms form is a fundamental and important question, since they make up everything with mass. The question of where atoms comes from requires a lot of physics to be answered ...

Researchers at ETH have used nuclear magnetic resonance to find out what other atoms are bound to the platinum atoms in a single-atom catalyst and where they are spatially located. The precise ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, is entering exciting new territory.
