Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to help probe ...

Scientists have detected a new, unusually large molecule never seen in space before. The 13-atom molecule, called 2-methoxyethanol, was detected in the Cat's Paw Nebula. When you purchase through ...

A view inside the trapped-ion quantum computer that carried out a first-of-its-kind simulation of molecular chemistry. A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than ...
