Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how electrons dance together. The technique, known as X-ray four-wave mixing, ...

Lost Atoms is Frantic Assembly’s 30th anniversary co-production with Curve, Mayflower Southampton and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. Written by Anna Jordan and directed by Scott Graham, it’s a sublime ...

In a first, scientists have recreated the formation of the first ever molecules in the universe to learn more about early star formation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Just about anybody who played hide-and-seek as a kid remembers counting, with eyes (presumably) covered, in units of one-one-thousand. “One-one-thousand. Two-one-thousand. Three-one-thousand.” It’s ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using argon plasma, metal atoms can be dispersed and guided to desired positions. This new strategy ensures that not a single atom goes to waste and maximizes the ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...

The authors declare no competing interests. The research was supported by the Sydney Horizon Fellowship program, the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio program, the Australian Research Council, the US ...

Two types of atoms, bosons on the left exhibit bunching while the fermions on the right display anti-bunching – Credit: Sampson Wilcox / MIT MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual ...

Scientists recently snapped pictures of single, “free range” atoms as they move around freely through space – an achievement that has been impossible until now. This remarkable feat might rewrite our ...

The NASA astronauts splashed down on Tuesday in a SpaceX capsule after problems with a Boeing vehicle set in motion a nine-month stay on the International Space Station. Kenneth Chang and Thomas ...
