Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

Chemical reactions drive life. They ensure that cells obtain energy, proteins perform their functions, and DNA changes under ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists at Ohio State University have taken a step toward the development of powerful new computers -- by making tiny holes that contain nothing at all. The holes -- dark spots in ...

Scientists from the Carnegie Institution have discovered that a previously unknown form of matter may exist in the depths of ...

A quantum computer built using giant atoms controlled by laser light may be enough to imitate some functions of the brain, such as memory and decision-making. Rodrigo Araiza Bravo at Harvard ...

In A Nutshell Researchers have used computer simulations to predict a never-before-described state of matter in a ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties. Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) offers extremely high resolution to ...

Researchers solving today’s most important and complex energy challenges can’t always conduct real-world experiments. This is especially true for nuclear energy research. Considerations such as cost, ...
