Claudio Neves Valente, who is accused of killing two students at Brown and an M.I.T. professor, left rambling descriptions of ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a single-atom photocatalytic strategy that enables ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists ...

A cornerstone rule of organic chemistry that has guided students and researchers for a century has just been shown to be ...

Nearly a century after Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr turned a technical disagreement into a philosophical duel, a new ...

In a short talk at Caltech, physicist Richard Feynman laid out a vision of manipulating and controlling atoms at the tiniest ...

Some algorithms are more efficient than others. We would prefer to chose an efficient algorithm, so it would be nice to have metrics for comparing algorithm efficiency. The complexity of an algorithm ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

Extremely cold atoms have been connected into a state of quantum “hyperentanglement” for the first time. This demonstrates a new level of control over their quantum properties, which could prove ...

Physicists captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal correlations among the 'free-range' particles that until now were predicted but never directly ...

A Nobel prizewinner has agreed to give a free, public lecture at Queen’s University Belfast – just days after this year’s Physics award was announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in ...
