Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a ...

Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, ...

Neo-1 is the first model to unify de novo molecular generation and atomic-level structure prediction in a single model, by generating latent representations of whole molecules instead of predicting ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...

Ultracold atomic gases have several advantages over materials for systematically exploring fermionic quantum systems. In materials, strong interactions go hand in hand with increasing localization of ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...

Scientists have captured the first ever photo of an electron’s whizzing orbit within a hydrogen atom, thanks to a unique new microscopy technique. Seeing inside the tiniest bits of matter is a ...
