Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how ...

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, ...

The most accurate simulation of objects made from tens of millions of atoms has been run on one the world’s top supercomputers with the help of artificial intelligence. Existing simulations that ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even as they are excited to ...
