They observe for the first time the movement of oxygen atoms in liquid water, revealing life forms and effects for plasma ...

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is turning green and getting brighter as it nears Earth. Scientists track the ancient space rock, ...

Nearly 4.5 million years ago, two large, hot stars brushed tantalizingly close to Earth's sun. They left behind a trace in ...

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For ...

Beyond the local interstellar clouds and their wispy clumps of hydrogen and helium atoms in the form of gas and dust, the ...

A never-before-seen image of individual oxygen atoms dissolved in water has been captured.

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

By building an atomic equivalent of the critical Josephson junction, scientists can now study how energy is lost and excitations form.

Tokyo, Japan – At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables “quantum tunneling”, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...
