A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Scientists in South Korea have created what they call "the world’s smallest ball game," throwing individual atoms between two optical traps. The research could eventually make for more adaptable and ...

Scientists propose a hunt for tauonium, a hypothetical variety of atom that would consist of a tau lepton and its antimatter counterpart, an antitau, Emily Conover reported in “Tauonium” (SN: 6/29/24, ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...

As silicon-based computer chips approach their physical limitations in the quest for faster and smaller designs, the search for alternative materials that remain functional at atomic scales is one of ...
