The ultimate dream of nanotechnology is to be able to manipulate matter atom-by-atom. To do that, we first need to know where to find the atoms. In what could be a major step in that direction, ...

Big question. Grit, determination, hardworking, handsome, charming, funny. Teacher: Well, I guess. But you're actually made of atoms. In fact, everything is made of atoms. Presenter: It's funny, ...

Using a new ultrafast camera, researchers have recorded the first real-time image of two atoms vibrating in a molecule. Key to the experiment is the researchers' use of the energy of a molecule's own ...

Atoms never stay still. Even in their lowest energy state, they vibrate due to quantum effects. Now, for the first time, scientists have directly observed this jittery movement in a complex ...

Physicists have now resolved a disputed matter of theoretical physics. Science has long since known that, contrary to the old school of thought, helium forms molecules of two, three or even more atoms ...

Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it's like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone is ...
