Many properties of molecules cannot be predicted from the properties of the atoms they consist of. These properties only ...

Atoms are normally made of a nucleus and electrons. But scientists are proposing a hunt for a new variety of atom without either. Tauonium (sometimes called “ditauonium” or “true tauonium”) would ...

Finding and developing new molecules is one of the great research endeavors of modern chemistry. From the development of new ...

Particles are nature’s smallest constituents, but that doesn’t mean they’re fundamental. So what is the Universe made of?

The device, described in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, generates phonons—a quantum mechanical description of ...

A major discovery is reshaping how scientists think about catalysts. Researchers have, for the first time, captured oxygen ...

All the elements in the Periodic Table are made from different atoms, and the structure of these atoms results in a gamut of phenomena from radioactive decay to nuclear power. When you purchase ...
