Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, ...

More than 40 researchers from international institutes collaborated to develop and implement a method that enables measurements with unprecedented precision. This sets new standards for theories and ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, the ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Active Target Time Projection Chambers (AT-TPCs) have revolutionised experimental nuclear physics by integrating the target material with the detection medium, thereby enhancing sensitivity for ...

Nuclear weapons tests are among the most violent events humans can trigger, and that violence leaves fingerprints in the Earth, sea, air, and even in orbit. The physics of shock waves, sound, and ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...
