A newly isolated three-atom aluminum ring reveals unexpected chemistry that could help replace costly metals used in industrial reactions.

The comet 3I/ATLAS is well on its way back into deep space, but the famous cosmic visitor continues to fascinate astronomers.

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Advanced computing is being utilized to predict a key occurrence in nuclear fission reactions, which could help improve energy production in future plants, according to a new stud ...

When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

Everything depends on what people and their government do,” Somerville writes, not once, not twice, but (if I count correctly) seven times.

The original story “ Physicists build a quantum Newton’s cradle where energy flows without resistance ” is published in The ...

Researchers reveal why trace amounts of alloy added to some catalysts keep them performing better over time. The study suggests models that could boost manufacturing.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.
